What entry-level job can I get with a computer science degree that has nothing to do with programming?
I chose to be a computer scientist a long time ago when I wasn't really thinking straight. I like computers, and I like figuring out servers, administration, security, etc. . . but I HATE programming. and I am HORRIBLE at it!I want to be a network administrator (design, installing, maintaining LAN's or WAN's) but I've heard they are, for the most part, self-taught and CSUF doesn't offer a major/concentration in this area. I don't reckon I would be a excellent game designer, either. . . . the concentrations I can point out from are here: http://cs. fullerton. edu/BSTracks. aspx#BSIETrack I was just going to take the internet trackI'm already a junior and don't want to change majors. . -------> What job do you reckon I should shoot for, right out of graduation from CSUF, with a computer science degree that is not a programming job? class I will have taken: * CPSC 120 (Introduction to Programming) * CPSC 121 (Programming Concepts) * CPSC 131 (Data Structures Concepts) * CPSC 223 (Object-Oriented Programming Language) * CPSC 240 (Computer Organization and Assembly Language) * CPSC 253U or 254 (UNIX or Open Source Systems) * CPSC 311 (Technical Writing for Computer Science) * CPSC 315 (Social and Ethical Issues in Computing) * CPSC 323 (Programming Languages and Translation) * CPSC 332 (File Structures and Database Systems) * CPSC 335 (Problem Solving Strategies) * CPSC 351 (Operating Systems Concepts) * CPSC 362 (Foundations of Software Commerce) * CPSC 440 (Computer System Architecture) * CPSC 471 (Computer Communications) * CPSC 481 (Artificial Intelligence) * CPSC 431 (Database and Applications) * CPSC 473 (Web Programming and Data Management) * CPSC 474 (Distributed Computing using Web Service and . NET Remoting) * CPSC 476 (Java Enterprise Application Development)ah! What do I do?!

Yeah, I’m in the same boat. Can build computers, set up a network, troubleshoot, but for the life of me can’t write a simple program. I joined the army, which you could do as an officer with your degree, but I wouldn’t recommend that. You have your certs right? like CCNA A+ N+ security+ etc? I’ve heard network admin for a primary school (k-12) is a pretty chill gig and pays like 50k a year. Or you could be a fluffer. I imagine that pays well.
