I have met people who thought being a programmer would be a good career move and then found that they hated it.
*waves*. Prime example here!

Loved, and worked with computers in high school. Even did some minor programming and have one contract to develop a website. Went into Computer Science and switched after a year to IT Management because I found out that I also like to understand the business implications of the systems I'm building and pure programming learnt in Comp Sci wasn't teaching me that.
