For now I program for fun, although it is my course of study (Computer Science major). But two points:
a.) I really don't do much programming for classes anymore. I'm past most of that.
b.) I do *lots* of programming on my own time. My specialty is PHP. Although I've only done it for fun so far, I have a tech friend who is going to contract me out to code some for his company.
So yeah, again it's both like dunkelhelmut. I'm not entirely sure that programming will be involved in my career path, but I will always keep the skills around and use them for "fun".
