SQL? R? Excel?
thanks for replying. i still got a ways to go but its time for me to look for internships and such.

i'm currently on the path to receive a BS in business administration management information systems concentration from a four year state school. i was accepted to my major near the end of this spring. my university also has a data analytics minor that i am heavily considering.
once i am done with summer classes i plan to really dive deeper into excel and ease into learning sql b/c that will help in lots of MIS contexts it seems.
i read online that MIS is a great degree that can lead into system admin, database admin, network admin, or business/it/system analyst roles. id find any of these careers interesting so at this point in time i feel on the right path. most importantly i just want to a job that will allow me to live a comfortable life, ya know?
i have never really met anyone that has an MIS degree before so i have no idea what the job market is actually like for degree holders beyond clickbait articles that say how great it is. if you have an mis degree, what is your experience with it and what kind of role are you working? would you recommend this degree to someone else? what skills do you recommend most for hire-ability? id assume this is area specific, but i live in the PNW and live near an area with a strong biz/tech scene and lots of govt opportunities.
i was recently speaking with some CS majors and they were talking about how MIS is a garbage non-technical degree that isnt good for much. obviously CS is a harder more technical degree that can result in higher salary but i feel they were just trying to put my down for pursuing what they saw as a lesser degree, but nonetheless it put a sense of fear into me about my potential career opportunities.
i just need some guidance and would like to hear your experience.
thank you

Not to mention the music which is some of the best in any game I've ever played.
Maybe you've come across my bridges or structures. Maybe a path I've walked has become a road for you.

Needles on the bathroom floor and creepy guys watch porn (really, no web filters?) on the computers. No thanks.

The "love your job and you'll never work a day in your life" is BS and encourages people to get things like history degrees that are largely useless. Work a job you hate that pays well so you are comfortable outside of it.
Work to live, not the other way around. Something like 80% of people hate their jobs, so why would I be any different?

Seems like it'd be easier to do anything. I'd imagine implementing policy or infrastructure that leads to better lifestyles is easier in a country that is x228 smaller and with a population probably less than 2% of the US.

at this point we should all just vote through google forms or twitter polls instead of spending a lot of money on a system that is about as secure and immune to influence as the latter options
