CS Degree vs. MIS Degree

[Rick LV]

I got into a discussion with a friend of mine tonight at dinner about a computer sci. degree vs. a MIS degree. He has a BS in CS and makes pretty good money (I'd say around the 50k range). He was telling me that a MIS degree right now is pretty much worthless. He says it is hard to get a job with a MIS degree, and if you do land a job the starting pay isn't very good (30k if you are lucky). What are your opinions on this subject? I am thinking about switching my major to CS from MIS. Though I will only have about 27 credits or so that will count towards a CS degree.

CS is apparently a tough degree to get (Ive heard that the US imports twice as many CS grads then graduates each year).
