"computer science degree is more for research and development kind of companies. A CIS degree would be more for business related scenarios like banks, and other businesses. I have been told that there is more jobs related to CIS than computer science degrees." Mike M
Site --gives a great list of the types of jobs related to computers, and has lot of links to other resources of information. Site2 (this site really explains the different careers in the computer related field).
CS is geared more toward the theories of computers, and development of new technologies with computers. On the other hand, CIS is geared toward information from companies that have been organized in their computer systems. The nature of the work is slightly different. For example, a network engineer creates the network (with cables etc..), and does research on new ways to create a network. A network administrator maintains the network created by the engineer. Network engineers have Computer Science degrees, while network administrators have CIS degrees. This site really explains and gives statistical information about the different jobs and career paths.

Overall, both degrees are great, but i am hoping my degree in CIS will give me more opportunities.
I am currently half way in my CIT degree and agree with the avobe. If your looking for jobs in programming, get a CS degree and go work for google ect. And thatt is if they have any opennings; due to these companies providing visas for foreigners to come over and work or offshoring these expensive jobs. My personal opinion a CIT or CIS is better because they are more of a business degree, plus these degree prorams offer a path to computer and network programming wile not as intence as CS but it will get you there.
