Management Information Systems: "What Is That"?.
            
	During my last year in high school people always asked me what I wanted to do.
            
or major in college. I always told them business. I really knew nothing about it. I just.
            
thought I would be a good business person working behind a desk in front of a computer.
            
I felt like I could be a good business type person from what I have seen on TV, but when.
            
I actually started college I some how ended up majoring in Computer Information.
            
Systems. I heard that when you major in business that meant you basically wanted to own.
            
your own business, and I really did not want to have my own business. So I read the little.
            
description on Computer Information Systems and just decided I was interested in it.
            
This prepares the student for a wide variety of applications found within the diverse.
            
computing and information technology field. The graduate will acquire a strong.
            
foundation in programming and database technology normally required for careers in the.
            
business environment ( catalog, 117).  I heard that it made really good money. But during.
            
my first semester I was not enjoying my Computer Information Systems course. It was.
            
based on going deep into computers. From binary numbers to inside the computers.
            
Something that really did not interest me. I passed the class with flying colors but I had.
            
no interest in it whatsoever. I was looking for a major in the area of working on.
            
computers and doing clerk and management type of work, which would also make pretty.
            
good money. .
            
	Looking in my book I came across Management Information Systems. I read over.
            
it and was pleased to find out it was just what I was looking for. So the second semester I.
            
change my major over to Management Information Systems. Taking my first course has.
            
really been great. I really enjoy being in this class. It is designed to introduce me to.
            
business computer systems and to show how the computer may be used as a tool for.
            
communication and decision making.
