Programming for the most part is about understanding program structure and modifying the said structure. Different people view programming very differently. For example for me programming is mainly a way to understand things. I program things I want to learn about. My understanding of programming helps me understand computers and computing. Then I have a friend who couldn't care less about how exactly things work under the hood, or in theory. All he cares about is making a product, and programming is his tool. There's a vast difference between computer science and software engineering. I'm afraid most people with CS degrees, let alone those who want to get one, don't even understand this themselves.
