I'm currently in my second year of college studying Computer Information Systems. The reason I chose this degree is because I know it is a broad field and covers both computing and business.

The hard part now, is to narrow down and try to decide what I want to do with it once I graduate. I've heard a lot of CIS people go to become a systems analyst, but I don't exactly know what a SA does. So far, from taking classes I know I don't want to do a lot/any programming. In fact, I find my self enjoying my business classes more than my computing classes. I would like to have a more business oriented job than a computer oriented job.

I would like to hear from some people who have graduated with a Computer Information Systems degree (or very similar degree).
What job do you have? What do you do everyday? Whats the demand for CIS majors?

I would like to start looking for internships or part-time jobs working in my field, gaining more first-hand experience and knowledge. Any ideas on how to get started?
I realize the job market is down right now, so it may be fairly difficult to find something, but I'm not necessarily looking for a new job right away.

Any information you guys can give me regarding my post is greatly appreciated.

P.S. I also posted this in the Computer forum. I wasnt sure which place would be more appropriate.
