Is it worth it to major in MIS?

Im a junior in high school right now starting to think about what major I should choose for college and MIS has recently started to catch my attention. I like the idea of being at the intersection of business and technology, and the idea of working with systems, data, technology, all that good stuff. I am a little skeptical though and I am unsure if I should actually major in MIS or switch to something else. Is the job market looking good right now, and where is it headed? I would also like to know what a realistic career path looks like, where people usually start at, and where they end up at. If I do end up majoring in this, what should I prioritize in college (things like internship opportunities, personal projects, etc.). I also have seen things where people have said you can either focus in on more the business part or the technical part, and if you focus more on the technical part you can generally get higher pay. I wanted thoughts on this to see if its true or bs, and also if it is true, how to actually focus in on the technical part during college to set myself up.

Would love to hear from anyone who has anything that they think could help me, but also specifically those who majored in or work in the field.
