Computer Science Careers with Human Interaction & Diversity

In summary, besides software and web development, computer science graduates can also pursue careers as roboticists, which involve a mix of human interaction and physical innovation using software. This provides a break from the repetitive and male-dominated environment often found in traditional computer science jobs.

What careers can a computer science graduate get into other than the obvious software/ web development?

Are there any careers with less computer work and more human interaction lol, and a more mixed workforce.

From experience, workplaces in this field are hugely dominated by men to the state it's 95% males and 5% 'female'. Being a man myself I have nothing against them, but it helps to have a little more variety when you're going to be working with people on a daily basis. Also improves the chances of passing on one's genes, by about a 500% increase.

Also, sitting on a desk for about 95% of the day (not an exagerration) churning out code isn't really a dream come true. It's extremely repetitive work, but then again I haven't tried out other careers so maybe they all have this repetitive aspect.

But back to the matter, which careers other than the two mentioned can CS grads enter?

For your second question I say becoming a roboticist. Roboticist's out there are planning a human- robot interaction.

That is sort of my aim. I want my career to be something other than abstract code for people's websites and software. Being a robotocist allows for innovation and what is built does use the software side of it a little bit to program the robot, but it is a physical manifestation rather than something abstract that can't be seen or felt.

Any other ideas?
