I have a Bachelor's degree in computer science. What can I do that isn't strictly programming or software development (it can involve some programming, but not where 100% of your work is coding)? Also what can I do that's outside of the IT industry? And what would I need to have or learn besides my degree to get there?

I know someone with a computer science degree who is a consultant.

You can be a software tester/quality assurance engineer. This is the person who tests the computer code written by the programmers. You can use your knowledge of coding to create automated tests, but that wouldn't have to be 100% of the time. You could test manually some of the time, write test cases and test plans some of the time, etc. A class in QA or testing methods would help, but your computer background might be sufficient. You could work in implementation. When a business installs a major software package like enterprise software or healthcare software, it's a big project taking many months to a year or more. Implementation consultants travel to the client site and install and configure the software according to the customer's needs. They also transfer existing data into the new database and interface the new software with existing applications. Coding may be useful, but it wouldn't be a main part of the job. You could be a business analyst. This is the person who works with the business client to find out their needs, desires and practices so a software package can be customized for them. A little basic business knowledge can help here, and you'll need to be comfortable making presentations and maybe training people. You could go into recruiting for IT, because you know the lingo and the concepts. You could sell b-to-b software packages or go into marketing for IT.
