I backed into programming from a different way. By the time I graduated with a CS degree, I decidedly did not want to be a dev. I had done some small programming projects as side work thru college. But programming felt overwhelming and complex to the point of being unmanageable. At the time I described what I thought of programming for a living as "going home every day with my brain fried". However while doing sysadmin work, employers kept giving me dev work to do since I already had some experience. So I began to find ways to organize and tame the complexity, and discovered that was actually pretty fun. Today I love dev work and realize that it fits me really well. Newly-graduated me would never have seen that coming.

Is there anywhere that you can graduate as CS major without knowing how to code? :O
Probably, but not schools you want to go to. :)
