I'm not quite understanding what you mean by "doing much better." I'll safely assume from the title of your post that you're referring to your income level.

A few things to ask yourself and consider:

• What exactly were your expectations prior to receiving this degree in terms of career outlook? What type specific job were you looking to obtain upon graduation? (If your answer to either of these questions is "I don't know," then there's your first problem.)
  
• Do you actually hold a passion for technical problem-solving positions, or are you only attracted to the dollar signs associated with said positions?
• Did you have a career path planned out prior to graduation, or were you expecting to just work a generic job in "Computers" that paid $84k+ per year?

This field requires extensive planning in order to get ahead and earn high rewards. Your CIS degree absolutely holds value, yes, but as another redditor mentioned before, it is not a coupon for "One $80,000+ per year job please."

The degree does not qualify you for technically-skilled positions, as many employers see it as a minimum requirement to even be considered for an interview--Your demonstrated skills and real-world experience is what does qualify you for those skilled and higher-paid positions.

Money is important, yes. But if you work in this field only for the money, you're going to be highly disappointed and absolutely hate your life.

That being said, take a hard look at your future and what specific job titles you see yourself doing. Make a list of every endgame job title you are interested in, and identify the steps you need to take in order to meet the minimum qualifications necessary (Skills: certifications, experience) to reach this goal. If you determined you want to be a Network Administrator, begin studying for networking certifications and build a homelab on your own time.

Your degree also includes a business background, which means you could work as a Systems Analyst, which doesn't necessarily require you to be an expert in all associated technologies, but you do need to understand how they function in order to be an effective liaison between business and technical areas of an organization.
