What's the job market like for a MIS degree?
MIS => Management Information Systems
What type of work can I be eligible for? What other degrees will I be looked over for?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Pretty good, actually.
From the Bureau of Labor and Statistics job site:
"Computer scientists and database administrators are projected to be one of the fastest growing occupations over the next decade."
Looks like common jobs include systems administrators for companies (keeping the web site and servers up and running), other comp sci jobs, and possibly even a librarian of some sort.
I also strongly suggest that, if you are currently a student or were a student, go to your school's local career center for more info. A lot of states also have employment centers that can have good resources.
A lot always depends on connections and experience, that is, getting an internship or some "real world" experience while in school.
I can't say what degrees you'd be "looked over" for. I don't know if that should be your focus. I mean, I've got an English education degree but I'm working on freelance writing, and I'm sure I get looked over for things on occasion, but I bring a lot of strengths to the party with the education part. When I'm looking for work, I play up those strengths--very broad background of coursework in science and math, knowing how to explain complex material in a simpler manner, etc--in my resume, cover letter, and any verbal correspondence with a potential employer.
