I have no work experience and probably will have none when i graduate(unless i get an internship). i want to get into business later in my courier like a MBA.

so now i'm confused on which course to take. i like programming fine enough. but i really want to make a lot of money which i figure comes in the business side... but first i need to get a job after i graduate in MS. hence my dilemma which course will guarantee a job after graduation with no work experience and a decent salary..

Do what you love?

+1  A: 

If you're doing it for the money, you're doing it for the wrong reason. No amount of money is worth the sacrifices (in your Family time, social life, etc). So figure out what you like more.

More over, If you're already looking at an MBA at some time in the future, how about you try to get a job just with your Batchelor's? There are many professional developers who have NO DEGREE WHATSOEVER. Some of them are MVPs and such. I recommend you go out into the workplace and get some of that work experience you know you're lacking before you worry about a post-grad degree.

While I agree totally with the 'do what you love' answers, I'm going to tell you that in my experience, MIS people tend to move up the food chain faster than CS people.

Neither is a guaranteed job though. If possible, try to go into a course that has a co-op program or internship. This will give you work experience, cash, and if you're any good, references and contacts in the industry.

Also consider joining the ACM or IEEE. They should have student rates.

Hope that helps
