Date: Sep 09 2003 Major: Unknown (This Major's Salary over time) UMD was a great school, and a select few of the CIS staff are excellent instructors. Listen to them and let them help you. Also, get involved outside of the classroom. The job market is really tough right now. If you do not like or enjoy programming, you'll be in trouble. I've been able to stay employed in this field because I love it. That has driven me to excel and learn things on my own. Simply waving your diploma around will get you nothing these days - a CIS degree is not extremly difficult to obtain, and employers know that. They want to see real knowledge and real skills.
