Well I'm in a weird spot as I graduate in 2 weeks, so I have no experience, but I also have no questions.

B.B.A. in Computer Information Systems - 2017

I just signed on with CVENT in Tyson's Corner in a Software Support Engineer role. I'll basically be handling support tickets that get escalated all of the way to the top, finding errors in the code or infrastructure and making fixes for them. Other than that, I'm not entirely sure what else I'll be doing. Most CIS majors get sucked into the black hole of government consulting, but I knew that wasn't for me and I enjoy the technical side as well as the business side of IT so I'm trying to avoid purely functional roles as well as purely development roles.

NOVA was basically my last choice of locations and I hope to move to Richmond some day, but the job market was a little slim considering I was searching for a role that was a little outside the CIS wheelhouse. The position seems really interesting and the offer was fantastic, so it seems like I'm in NOVA for now.


I never realized how many CS/CIS majors we had in the club. For any younger people reading this post that don't know what major to choose, be sure to look into CIS. It's a very broad path that will expose you to so many different areas that it's hard NOT to find a job. It's also the highest paying major at JMU, so it's very rewarding if you can crack it.

Edit: Here is the LinkedIn group. I encourage everyone to join it: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8593843">https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8593843</a><!-- m -->

Also, any current students looking for a job, I can get you on with Cracker Barrel making almost $10 or more. The job is honestly pretty hard, but the hours can be made pretty flexible. Just hit me up and I'll make the call.
