That is a reasonable question. People answering would be Students, Hobbyists and Professional programmers. People don't use these languages for little utility scripts like batch files, though some of the high level languages with GUI designers and simple APIs are almost usable for such purposes.
For a programmer, coding is like playing with lego, just with an infinite number of pieces. You get to build interesting software. Many people however, find the process boring or hard.
I found it boring and hard and dropped the major. Nothing screams "fun" like writing thirteen different search algorithms in Java for no apparent reason other than that prove that the included search algorithm is vastly superior.
What a waste of time.
