If there were no computers when I was an undergrad, I'd have gone into physics, EE, or astronomy / astrophysics. Or been one of the people who helped create the computers, since you can't really take away the concept of analytical engines without re-writing the physical laws of the universe :)

I would probably go to school to be a conservation officer or something. I love hunting and fishing, so I think that would be a pretty cool job to have.

I'd probably do production work for a TV station. I did that for awhile at a local public access TV studio, and it seemed pretty interesting.
