Breaking in

I guess a lot of us here must be using Treehouse in the hope of getting a web dev job. Does anyone already have a job in a 'tech-related' field/industry without yet actually being a coder? If so how did you get it and what is it you do? I'd love to know as I recently left a dead-end job and really want to get a foot in the door somewhere tech-y. Also I'm just generally curious about the sorts of things non-coders do in tech. Thanks
