Some people love the idea of spending all day sitting in front of a computer, writing code to make amazing websites and web apps that are useful, fun, or both.

Others…not so much. And that might have you feeling like tech isn’t for you. But that’s so far from the truth! There are so many awesome jobs in tech that don’t require coding all day. Some hardly require coding at all.

In all the years I’ve worked in tech, I’ve spent maybe 15% of my time coding, and most of that was done entirely by choice—because it’s fun!

For example, digital marketing (including social media marketing and content marketing, which is what I do) rarely includes coding beyond inserting a link or maybe designing an email template. And even then a lot or all of the work can be done with a visual editor, rather than coding by hand.

Other awesome tech jobs that pay well balance coding with other skills, like visual design. Jobs like UI designer, UX designer, and mobile designer can all be done with little to no actual coding (though being familiar with code is definitely a bonus).
