Dear Or,
As noted in the first follow-up post to your message, there are
many specialties in the computer field. Many of them require
some knowledge of programming, but most don't place much
emphasis on it.
If you really want to make money in the computer business,
though, you need a business degree. Getting hired as the CEO of
Microsoft, Compaq, or IBM is the surest path to making lots of
money in the computer business, much more so than as any
technician type. :)
