I'll tell you whats an emerging area for a college kid - thats a B.S in Electronic Communications from your college's communication department, with a minor or AA in computer science. That will put you into the B to B internet stuff that is going to be the hot stuff over the next decade, and the exposure to Internet graphic design will give you a foot in the door on B to C as well. Coders are going to be a dime a dozen, which is the going hourly rate in Vietnam right now( I kid you not) for a coder. Graphic site designers who communicate well in English and can code in ASP are going to get a nice job. MIS is really just left over stuff when the IT department was the mysterious king of computers. A lot of the professors who teach it are still stuck in that world as well. Its going and gone. Your average accounting department can get a kid to do the stuff they used to depend on MIS to do.
