w00t! It's celebration time for me. I finally got my diploma today, so I officially have a masters now.
*celebrates*
Edit: MSIS = Masters of Science in Information Systems, for those who don't know.

I was about to say! They broke the mold when they made me! There's no way you got another MS!
Seriously though, congratulations.

Way to go!
When I saw this thread, my first two thoughts were:
Mobile Suit
Microsoft.
Neither really made sense.

For one thing he now can think up more ways of mucking up the forum than before and hopefully fixing it as well...just kidding!
Seriously what DOES one do with a MSIS?And what IS Information Science?
For a moment there I when I saw MS I was reminded of a member of
Abhnation Forum whose username also has the initials MS.Maybe because I was there earlier today.
Next think we know Mith will be taking over Microsoft!

I'm not going to say congratulations, because plenty of people have already said that. Have a jolly Saint Patrick's Day*.
*as an accomplished and hopefully more relaxed individual of great merit.

Join the club yo! I totally know the feeling when I finally got out of grad school.
It was surreal. In a beautiful way....la la la *floats in air with much coveted diploma in hand*
Now, go forth and get paid accordingly. XD

Still waiting for someone to explain what one can do with a Masters in
Information Science aside from taking over Microsoft.
Drat I was looking at how Star Wars was going to be celebrating 30 years now and I just realized next year it will be 30 years since I graduated from
High School.

I'm somewhat confused... I thought diploma was below a degree, and a masters degree is above a degree.
Either way, congraturation!

Thanks, guys! For those of you who don't know, I've been out of college for about 8 years, already - workin' in the real world. I opted to get the MS because I felt it would be useful later on. I'll probably look into teaching college full time, if it's something I can get into. If not, maybe it's time I apply for a full time position at Google.
Thanks again for your prayers and well wishings!

Ok...but I am still curious what the heck "Information Science" is exactly and why someone would be interested in taking it as a major.

Using Wikipedia is good.
Look at the topics covered by information science, in particular. If after reading that list you are still confused about why it might interest someone, please find a time machine and familiarize yourself with the last few decades.

A diploma is merely the certificate that indicates you have attained a certain level of education, whereas a degree is the term for the actual position. Following high school is a bachelor's degree, which is below a master's degree, which is below a PhD. Does that clarify things?

congrats mith, you now have a funny looking piece of paper saying that you can do all the things that we already knew you could
seriously though, major props to you, good sir, i'm sure it took much patience, perseverance, and many many a late night to get to where you're at, and i'm sure that the Lord will bless you for it.

However the person who started the thread should be the one to define what it is.
We shouldn't be forced to use WIKIPEDIA all the time for our answers.By not giving
a descriptive definition it shows a bit of laziness and sloth on the part of the thread
starter.
<UC: We'll talk further via PM. Meanwhile, all kudos to Mithrandir and such.>

Information Science? I'm lost. Did you mean Information Systems?
And yes; I'm totally lazy. That's why I don't have a post-grad degree... No wait. Nevermind.
