It’s difficult or impossible to avoid programming in civil engineering. Being a geologist or an environmental scientist and doing building site assessment and remediation is a reasonably available employment path (http://www.bls.gov/emp/ep_table_102.htm). Also, an environmental science major with taking the courses necessary for the environmental health specialist license in your state is a robust employment path. Neither geology nor environmental science is likely to require programming.
A basic skill in programming allows you to reduce, inspect, and visualize more raw data better and in less time than your peers. Your peers are the competition. Be better than the competition.
