INFORMATION SYSTEMS STARTUPS/ENTREPRENEUR

Get some experience, figure out a gap in the market, start a company, hire people to do what you can't. I think that about covers it.

I just feel so limited now that i've done Information Systems. Wishing I could go into heavy programming or something.

It's also uncommon so I have to explain it to everyone which makes it even worse.

Do you want to start one or join one? To join one look for smaller ones that are having trouble getting off the ground and are mostly composed of people with technical backgrounds. Pitch yourself as a person that has a business background so you can find ways to better monetize, promote and secure funding for the startup but that also has a good understanding of the technical aspects and can lend a hand in development if it's necessary.

Should of done CS if you wanted to program and create shit.
Info systems is more business, consulting and analytics shit.

I've actually had an idea for a business that might fit your qualifications. I've done computer repair practically all of my life, but I don't get much experience with enterprise systems which is what this would focus on, especially legacy ones. I don't think I'm ever going to get around to trying it and I have no /biz/ startup experience.

I'm not privy to how /biz/niz works around here. Do you want me to spill the idea on the board or is there some other app you want me to pitch it to you through?

Not afraid for myself, but I wasn't sure whether OP would want me to or not. Either way, he's not responding and as I said you'd need experience with those systems to pull it off so here it goes!

So, there's a lot of big corporations out there that still run on a lot of their operations off of IBM System i servers that have lived on essentially unchanged since the late 1980's. In some cases this is fine because their system is designed around that base and it's a robust system so it's just cheaper to keep it running. However, some of these business' have upgraded most of their workforce with Win 7 or Mac OSX desktops and laptops. The job of integrating these two systems usually falls on the in-house IT who are not even remotely trained to handle that bullshit. As such they usually just install IBM's emulator that they make for Windows (I have no idea what the Mac guys do), but IBM has already stated that they have no intention of providing support for said emulator past Win 7. This, mixed with the fact that the upper management in these businesses get swindled into buying Windows Server and Microsoft SharePoint with their Win 7 Enterprise licenses, makes for an absolute cluster fuck when it comes to systems, and often employees, trying to communicate with one another.

If someone could build a business that specializes in consulting with places like these, gives them a plan for integration and slowly phasing out the old systems while introducing the new one, prices it out, and executes it I think there could be some money made. It would take some work to develop a system to pull it off reliably, but I think it could be possible with a team that has the right skill sets.

TL;DR You consult other business' on updating a phasing out legacy systems and equipment.
