if you didn't mean to offend, you did anyway. have you ever considered that CIS majors chose CIS for a REASON? Maybe we don't want to sit and fucking program all day. maybe we are interested in the business aspects of computers. maybe we are interested in mainframes, networks, and a small amount of programming. maybe we want to run a website. CIS is not the pussy degree fo computers. that's a bullshit statement. it's just a DIFFERENT degree than CS.
Hell, at my university, CIS and IT are the same fucking thing. You need to rethink your statement. It's more than "nothing compared to a CS or IT" degree. I'm sorry your college has a bullshit CIS program, but here at my university it's extremely strenuous and known as one of the harder bachelor's to achieve. you are a fucking guru by the time you finish the program. in many aspects of computing.
as far as "opening up a computer," fuck it! I already know them inside and out. the CS degree here doesn't do it either. it's too fucking easy to have classes on just opening them up. the CS degree concentrates on advanced machine operating systems, programming (HEAVY emphasis), hardware (not just "opening up computers," the REAL stuff), and math.
The CIS/IT degree concentrates on networking, database, systems analysis, management, marketing, operations management, computer applications, web design, and other non-related classes. accounting and economics are a big part of the degree too.
some of us out there DON'T WANT the CS degree. we want CIS/IT. I'm offended.
