I've never done programming. Most I got into anything programming was programming a router..
Personally, I am majoring in Computer Networking, or as Computer Information Systems. I tried the network aspect of computers, and I liked it.. up until a certain point. It's all IP, common-sense, logical structure of a network, etc. You'll learn a lot from it, such as the differences between certain types of switches and routers, differences between LAN and a WAN. Or.. how does a switch and a router segregate traffic, etc. In my final semester, I had to build a network capable of holding a certain amount of users. I had to do this all on paper and with an emulation software, very fun. Only boring part was looking up prices for equipments that you plan on having.
I've also done Help Desk classes, this is kinda easy. I also tried the Systems-aspect of computers, which I tend to enjoy a bit more than the Network-aspect because to me, I can take it in more. I've never done any programming, and don't intend to, unless my major requires me to take those courses! Which, I might have to, but we'll see. I'm done with my 2nd year at the moment, and will be transferring shortly to a University. I plan on getting at least a Bachelor's Degree, and if I enjoy what I'm doing, I'll pursue a Master's. Right now, I really enjoy anything involving security, so I might try going for Systems or Network Security.
