Only if you're not familiar with MCS - it's not a regular CompSci degree. MCS places a heavy emphasis on the theory rather than the practice - I at least theoretically know how to write a compiler, but that's not something particularly necessary in more regular IT work (despite what Hollywood would have you believe)
If you're doing IT work with a computer science degree, you've utterly wasted your degree. That's not the degree's fault.
I hire programmers. If I interview someone with a MIS degree or an IT background, the entire interview would be grilling them on things like algorithmic complexity. I don't want IT people on my team because they simply don't produce good code.
That's a little hard to believe.
