Bachelor of Commerce with a minor in Information Science (Or whatever the equivalent in the UK/Europe is). Congratulations, you're now Business Analyst making more than your programming peers and all you have to do is draw simple graphs in Visio, write policy and attend meetings. I've got a few friends who are in this role and it's very versatile in-terms of career path as you can go down either the management route or towards a higher up "Architect" type position. Entry-level is £30,000 in Australia, going up to £45 -50,000 after 5 years depending on who you work for, £60,000+ after 8-10 years experience in senior position.

Have a look on seek.com.au for job listings to get an idea.

I'm currently a Database Analyst trying to jump across into this position because the pay is way better and demand is way higher. Plus it's much easier to get contract work for like 3-6 months which is great if you plan to travel or want the flexibility. I did a double major in Computer Science & Geography, while I found the University courses interesting work-life is way different and I'd rather just make as much money as possible at work with the least amount of effort,so I can actually enjoy programming at home instead.
