I have a bachelor's degree in IS/MIS not CS, and a few years of software development experience now. I want to pursue some sort of graduate education that will give me more career options. I was wondering if it's worth pursuing a graduate degree in Information Technology (not CS).

-How much is a master's degree in Information Technology worth? By this I mean how marketable does it make you, and how valuable is the education itself.

-How does its worth compare to a master's in CS?

-What types of employers are looking for the IT master's degree vs. a Computer Science master's degree?

-What's the most valuable thing an Information Technology degree can give, that someone wouldn't have without the degree?

Thanks.
