The MIS is a great way to get your foot in the door but, as others have stated, wont necessarily guarantee a huge income.

Acquiring certifications over the years and just adding experience to your resume certainly helps.

The 'quick easy' money is overseas. If you don't want to go overseas then there is certainly A LOT to be made right here where you are now...

1. Put in a few years with a large company. This experience will help you learn how to handle things that weren't covered in school

2. Get out on your own as a 'contractor' or start your own business. This industry allows you to charge FANTASTIC hourly rates for your time, and all it takes are a few decent sized clients to keep a decent steady income rolling in.

I've kept in touch with the same 5 guys over the years once we got out of school. 4 of us are out on our own charging ~$80-$120/hr and the 5th guy works for a large local company making $75k/yr after 8 years on the job.
