It is most unfortunate that CIS get paid just as much CS majors do...However that is usually at the entry level position. Most CS majors typically do not move into the managerial level, simply because they are better than that. Upper level corporate management is saturated with ignorant, self-indulgent, uneducated, moron business majors who exploit a well refined craft to make a buck. Those are the types of people who develop cute little acronyms like NIC so they can confuse those who are not so computer adept and make themselves look smarter in the process.
A CS major enjoys programming and usually moves into research. It's enough money to live on and it's a great position to be in if you love the field.
However, if your one of the corporate swine wannabe's only out to make a buck, then stick with CIS you lowlife.
