Thank you comment icon While the traditional route to becoming an information systems manager may include four to seven years achieving academic success, there are alternative paths to succeeding in this career. These ways include starting with an associate degree, transitioning into the position from a non-technological job, and self-teaching the needed skills and working your way up. With an associate degree in management information systems, information technology, or computer science, you can land an entry-level position. If you excel in your job, you are more likely to move up into a managerial position. Along the way you may want to take additional courses from your community college or from an online university. On the other hand, you might start a career with a business degree and work in management for a firm. Along the way you might become interested in the IT side of the organization and start a transition into an IS management position. After all, if you are a strong leader with a terrific staff you can do anything. Finally, some start an IT career by teaching themselves various computer skills such as programming, networking, and even InfoSec skills. You can even earn certifications online that attest to your knowledge. With such a skill set you can land a job in an IT department and then move up into management. ALEJANDRA SCALONE

Hi Kyle. This job may differ depending on the organization but basically, a computer information system manager analyzes the organization's system and software needs and make recommendations to top executives. Many are responsible for managing the implementation of these identified needs. That means managing the workload based on priorities, available resources, and ongoing maintenance needs. The job is very time-intensive. Many computer information systems managers work well over 40 hours a week.
