Well, the subject line pretty much says it all.
I'm looking to go into networking/information security field upon graduation in 6 months.
The only languages I know are: COBOL, VB, HTML, and JavaScript.
The bottom line is that I DETEST programming...it's just definitely not for me. I can't stand doing it, and would sooner be a McDonald's employee than write code for a living.
So, what I'm asking is if I go into an IT field other than as a programmer, how important is it for me to know programming anyways. For example, as a security consultant, might I need to understand how the code in different viruses work in order to better protect from them, or to understand how scripts and such can compromise security?
Thanks alot for your opinions.
