in IT, do you have a chance to move up and get into a management level position?

I'm gonna graduate next year with a double major MIS/Finance. What would be the more lucrative field? I enjoy both equally.

also, if I started in IT, worked a couple of year, could I go to get my MBA specialization in something other than IT, say Inverstment banking?

I graduated in may with the exact same 2 degrees. Got a job doing IT Consulting. Haven't started yet, but I'm probably gona work a few years, and then getting a mba or maybe masters. I went w/ IT as a 1st job 'cause most entry level finance positions suck and pay very poorly. But I do like both equally.

not sure where or what jobs in finance you were looking at, but an entry level position at an ibank can get you over $100k in your first (or second) year. Of course, jobs at the "prestigious" ibanks are very, very hard to get and can require very long hours.
