Re: Programmers: What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?
Not everyone who programs is moving towards a degree in it; my teams former main programmer is actually in civil engineering (and he was good enough to get into one of the best software engineering programs in Canada).

Realistically, every engineering discipline programs now. As a mechanical engineering student, I have three or four programming and electrical control based courses in my first two years.
