Seekings Advice - Compsci Proffesions/Careers

I'm in college atm and I selected computer science as a major. Lately I've
been questioning it. I'm hoping to find out more about the actual work
computer science majors do on a daily basis. What computer science jobs are
out there besides programming and what do programmers spend most of their
time doing? So far I've only taken a class on scheme and I didn't love it
or hate it.

Thanks,
Snail

It really depends on who you work for and what you're working on, but
it's fair to say that most software developers, if they are lucky,
spend most of their day programming. The unlucky ones get stuck in
meetings most of the time. I've been at both ends of the spectrum at
different jobs.

Right now (in a recession) you pretty much have to take what is
available. If you really don't like programming, don't study it.
Personally, I really enjoyed programming from the start and enjoyed it
all through school.
