Comment on Ask HN: CS major who doesn't want to code. Am I in the wrong major?

Comments

Well, I'm a CS major (or whatever you want to call to the european equivalent) and I don't code for a living.

I'm a systems administrator, and while I like to program and do so fairly frequently (both for fun, and on the job), I just can't see myself as a programmer, at least in the near future.

I find most "real-world" programming to be quite boring. And doing it day-in day-out would just burn me out of it real quick.

Of course, there are some programming jobs I can see myself taking. But making business apps or web stuff isn't one of them, and that's pretty much the whole market right now.
