Most MIS students change majors because of this class; everyone has to pass this class to go on to the senior level MIS classes. I'm really not feeling the love from it right now. It's three weeks until the midterm and I don't feel like I know enough to pass it based on my performance on the old copies of the exams.
That's why I am glad I took Intro to Computer Science this past semester... I now know that I do not want to be a code-monkey for a living.

I like Economics better . If you do not make the cut in your MIS classes, try taking some Economics courses. Since you already have your bachelors in business (I assume because IS is under the business catagory at my college) that you have at least taken intro Micro- and Macro- Economics classes, so yuo will know already how much you like them.

Acutally, Jack, I don't have my BBA quite yet. However, I am oh so close to getting it. I'm down to the final six classes; I should be out of here in August.
From what the MIS majors further along than I am tell me, the courses get much simpler now that this killer class is out of the way. And, I'm actually starting to enjoy the work I've having to do. I've only really been exposed to Java and client-side web development so far, but I've got a database class and a networking class coming up this spring. Should be fun.
As for changing majors, I really don't think it's an option at this point. I've already been in school long enough to have gotten both my bachelor's and master's degrees. I started as a music education major and switched to management information systems two years later. Anymore jumps and my parents are liable to skin me.
