I am exactly in the same position as you, just got my bachelor in CS - albeit in Europe (Switzerland), and don't want to code for a living, even if I enjoy it.

In my opinion one solution would be IT or management consulting. You'll be travelling around, getting to know many people, etc... And I think it gives you the exact tools you'll need if you want to become a entrepreneur later (social network, overview of how businesses are managed, what they need, you get the picture).

Some consulting companies that love to hire CS majors here in Switzerland: - The big 3 (BCG, McKinsey, Bain) - Accenture (seems to be present in Europe only) - ...



That's exactly what I'm going to be doing with my Computer Engineering degree (like CS with some electrical engineering thrown in), but in the US with Deloitte Consulting.

I had the exact same conflict, where I didn't want to be programming every day for eternity, and this will give me the opportunity to travel around and see a ton of different companies. Granted, I'm expecting to get worked to the bone and get tired of staying in hotels every week, but it'll be a fun experience that should let me move into something awesome.
