Re:CS != Programming (Score 1)

I agree. I think it's perfectly viable to enjoy computer science and not like programming. I also think it's possible to be a great computer scientist and be bad at programming. Any computer science major would easily state that the computer (and progrmaming) is just the tool used for the discipline. Just like there's the common analogy: A computer is to a computer scientist as a telescope is to an astronomer, or as a microscope is to a biologist, to be a good astronomer, you don't have to be an expert in using telescopes, and you don't even have to like telescopes. As to the original post, what job opportunities are there? Well, there's a ton on the applied mathematics side, If problem solving and mathematical modeling are your strong points, then find an operations research oriented job. For the much less in supply job, There do exist game designer posiitons that don't require programming. And as many have already stated, try teaching. Either continue with your masters or PhD and teach at the undergrad level, or grab a teaching credential and teach math. If you peek at CS grad school apps, they accept people from different disciplines. Programming ability is not the benchmark used. And in the same way, If you can demonstrate your problem solving ability, your ability to quickly learn, and just general intelect, you'll be able to get a job that may be more similar to your interests that don't involve programming
