摘要：As part of the effort to investigate what motivates(or de-motivates) a student to choose information systems as his/her major of study, this paper looks into the differences in terms of career outcomes as the students perceived in each of the five functional majors in the business schools. It also discusses how the students’ perceived career outcomes of choosing an IS major are different from their personal preference. The career outcomes are defined in terms of Schein’s [1] and DeLong’s [2] Career Anchors. Our discussions are based on the empirical data collected from 106 business students in two universities located in a southeastern state.
