MIS is a generic enough degree that I wouldn't read too much into what people do with that degree. There are lots of degrees that are basically catch-alls for people who don't really feel like they fit into a particular discipline.

The end result is that there is a wide variance in what people do after they graduate, and the degree isn't really an indicator of anything other than them getting a degree.

I have one of these generic multi-disciplinary undergraduate degrees and honestly, years later I feel like I would have less regret about how I spent those 4 years had I done CS or another program that was more focused. YMMV.
