Jobs for Computer Science degree holders?

I am planning on getting a tech related job after college once i finish my CS degree. However, I don't want to be sitting 9-5 Mon-Fri coding, sitting at a desk. I like coding and all, its just I couldn't be a programmer or developer as a job. I was thinking about something like a Database Admin, Network Admin, IT manager, pentester, etc. I like the business side of IT as well, using cool technologies in the workplace. I was also thinking about getting a minor in business or even a MBA after my bachelors. I would think that a degree like Information Technology or MIS or CIS would be better suited for the work I want to do, however the salary potential is MUCH higher with a CS degree and more options will be available for me. Also, I've read that most IT Managers hold a more advanced degree like CS compared to IT, CIS, or MIS. Just to clarify, I am a Senior in High school and wondering what path I should take. Which degree should I go for? I am worried that once I get into Jr/Sr years of college (at Ohio State) that all recruiters and internships will be just for programming and coding jobs. I hope this is not the case. Any tips from people in the industry? Thanks!
