The degree is good, it gives you good fundamentals and the such. But to take in the +90K, you need to look at Project Management Professional cert, CISSP cert, C|EH (certified ethical hacker)...
If you can get Network+ or Security+ with MSCE or even CISSP, then you can work for a major contract company like ITT Exellis, which operates in kuwait, Qatar, Afghanistan (really big dollars over here like +150K) - and these are tax free zones.
I'm in the Army, but I work with contractors and supervise them - I'm the Information Systems Manager so I oversee day to day operations. And, it's pretty fun.
