One can be promoted and not be forced to leave behind creative pursuits like programming. My dad, even though he was the lead technical architect for a university's medical college, still wrote code for those projects (quite literally) till the day he died.
Hopefully, the industry still affords me the ability to continue doing technical things till I'm ready to retire. That said, it's hard to say that programming will continue to be in that realm (how far away are we from machines programming, any way). I assume I'll still have the opportunity, but, "who knows".
