Great list! Learn to code!
I hated coding and knew it wasn't for me. Respect to those who can stand it!
It is not for everyone. This is why it is fucking stupid for them to try to force it as a graduation requirement for High school in the US. The only reason to do that is to dilute the workforce even more so you can pay a job that should make $85k+ to be at best $40k.
If you don't like it, don't do it. You find what you want to do and do it.
Learning to code some language to solve basic problems is usually a good idea. Even if it's powershell, bash, or something like perl or python.
You're good to go.
Fortran was my very first language too! Freshman year of college. Then I used it in my early working years, writing code in a Fortran based tester language for the Fairchild Sentry V/VII/VIII VLSI Test systems (64 pin testhead) so it wasn't a waste. I think most everything else we had for "modern" test equipment at that time was written in C, C++ or Pascal.
