I'm a psychology major, but recently I've been thinking it's not quite for me. I'm a huge television and movie fan (more television). Because it takes up so much of my time hobby wise I was thinking I should get into the field. I don't want to be on screen or anything. I don't think I'm creative enough to be a script writer either. So my question is... what? I'm not that good with technical things. So no like lighting camera or sound. What does a producer do? What other jobs are in the field? Does anyone know any good sites or information that might be helpful? Thank you.

To be a producer you need to be involved with all aspects of production. TV and Film are creative industries. Just because you enjoy Tv and Film (as does anyone) doesn't mean its perhaps suited to you. Have you thought about promotions (PR)? Or Marketing? In these you are involved with media, but not with the production. Also seriously, you'd probably get a job in these, very few get a job in TV without the creative and passion to want to create it.

there's a lot you can do in the film industry! you can be a director (no technical stuff there, you just need to "direct" the actor on what to do.. you're gonna be like a puppet master)... you could be a casting director, production coordinator... etc etc etc
i recommend this book to you (i have the same book and i found it helpful): Career Opportunities in the Film Industry by Fred Yager and Jane Yager
check that out! :) good luck!!

If you sew you can work in costuming, costumes, if you like to build things, you can get involved with set design.
