If you're still interested in tech but want to move away from programming there are definitely options. A few I've seen before:
- moving to a product/project management role (more talking to people and a lot less coding)
- a hybrid sales/engineer role on a technical product (helping the sales team and customer figure out how the product can be most useful to them)
- Developer support for a technical product (v.useful to have engineers who like communicating externally in these roles)
Otherwise people career change entirely. E.g. I studied law at university, realised I didn't want to be a corporate lawyer, then did sales/vc work at an equity crowdfunding start-up, left there to learn to code, spent just over a year building prototypes & on contract in some bigger tech co's, then started my own co which I'm now a year into (I'm 25).
So try and work out what interests you and see if you can move within the company you're at to start with to test it out.

I also wrote up the transferable skills from law > programming. It definitely goes the other way too - https://hackernoon.com/how-studying-law-helped-me-with-progr...
