I occasionally wish I had some other job than being a programmer.

But I quickly find out that most other jobs involve a lot of tasks that could be automated.

Unless you're telling people what to do (imperative programming) or making high-level schematic drawings (declarative programming), I can't imagine not being a programmer in a classical sense and not get bored with repeating things that computers or robots could be doing, and I could be telling them how.
