Guess you aren't an engineer or a mathematician then, as programming knowledge, while not necessarily an everyday skill, is important for tools such as Matlab or even just outright needing a small program to solve a complex equation.

I'd also suggest to you it is useful in a large number of IT related jobs which aren't pure programming (e.g. Sys Admin - small scripts to automate tedious tasks, Database Admin - small scripts and better understanding of SQL, System Analyst - being able to read code to understand how a system functions, etc...)


Good point.  I should have given a higher level designation to include those types of IT positions.   My point, however, remains unchanged.
