Information systems — where the official list says it leads
The U.S. Department of Education keeps an official table of which degree programmes lead to which occupations. Here it sits next to the paths this site writes for the same degree — where they agree, and where they do not. A degree still gets no score.

Official list vs our paths#
Both
—The official table matches programmes to occupations by curriculum; our paths follow where graduates actually go, including jobs the table predates. Neither column is the right one — the difference is the information.
The official list also names (no page here yet): Computer and Information Systems Managers · Computer Programmers · Computer Science Teachers, Postsecondary · Computer Occupations, All Other
Skills these careers share#
