Stephen’s Answer

You major is a broad stroke of possibilities when it comes to jobs. You could be a database administrator, project manager, security specialist, application developer among other things. My major was management information systems and I've been a developer for a benefits admin company, I've done support for Peoplesoft and SAP, been a project manager for Robotic Process Automation (RPA) use cases and now am a product manager for a Natural Language Processing (NLP) application.

You can check out https://www.bls.gov/ooh/ for job outlook for a particular job.

Hope this helps and good luck!

There's so many different options! I have a management science and information systems degree and I actually work at an accounting firm doing IT audit. I get the opportunity to work with lots of different companies and learn about them and their technologies. The fact that I'm able to work at one company but seeing what so many other companies do, it's pretty amazing!

If you're all interested in learning more about my company (Deloitte), happy to help!

Thanks!

Elena’s Answer

If I were you I would stick to technology, game design is a bit niche and if you get sick of it, you will have a very specific skill set. If you take the tech path you will have a much broader range of opportunity - and you could do something super technical like a programmer/developer or something like product manager for a tech product.
