Computer science jobs for people who don't like to code?


I got a friend who graduated with a CS degree but realized a little too late that he actually doesn't enjoy coding. What are some tangential paths he could take that doesn't require him going back to school for another 4 years?

Very few things will pay as well in the long run. Top level sys admins/Dev-ops. He will have to write a lot scripts, at least until he makes it to management.

If he is good at math and enjoys it he can become a data scientist.

Business Analyst/Product Management is another route.

Technical writer is another option if he is good at writing.

Maybe a system administration. It does not require so much coding.
