I worked for many years next office down from a programmer who dropped out of a doctoral program in history of religion. A couple of my best friends studied humanities in college and went on to work with computers. I was myself a liberal arts major in college, and have made my living first in tech support, then in systems administration and programming. And no, I don't hate my job. I very much enjoyed school, but had no desire to stick around an teach.
