That is my problem mostly. I love coding and do it for fun. Its just that I can't convince myself to get a desk job where I stare a monitor from 9 to 5.

- FreeRadical 17y agoTo be honest, most (professional) jobs nowadays require staring at a monitor 9-5.
- scott_s 17y agoThen you're mistakenly saying you don't want a coding job, when you don't want a typical 9-5.
- mcantor 17y agoYou should edit your OP to include this snippet. There's a big difference between "I don't want a coding job, and I don't like coding" and, "I love coding, but I don't want a coding job."
- gte910h 17y agoHAHA My hair is still wet from finally getting a shower today at 240 pm... CS is the BEST ticket to get a job that's NOT staring at a monitor from 9-5. If you're willing to do sales, you'll be flying around the country (or at least driving), doing installs, and possibly earning commissions. If you're willing to do entrepreneurial things, you'll be staring for 10-15 hours a day, definitely not 9-5, then be checking in and on the phone most of the time after you get something moving, but definitely won't be 9-5ing it. Additionally, for many branches of development, if you prove you deliver, you get some ridiculously flexible schedules by the standards of any other field.
