some companies will hire you for internship or otherwise based solely on you taking a programming class. one of my friends who is a MIS major (formerly CS) started programmiing a long time ago and has been developing software for companies since he was 15-16. he makes enough to pay his out of state tuition and bought a car. i’d say he probably makes about 40k a year. i think he got a free car too from one of the companies he worked for.

my roomate (CS major) is also really good at programming and works for Porter Paints doing IT work. he gets paid pretty well (15+ bucks/hr) and has been doing that since he was about 16.

i had research during this past summer and did quite a big of programming and most of the people i worked with seemed impressed that i had learned programming and was able to help out as much as i did.

so basically programming (although i dislike it a great deal) is fairly useful
