You might consider a career at some fortune 500 company (do not limit yourself to software companies here, every one of them has a large software department). My experience is that it involves a lot more communication and 'people skills'. Also the dresscode is often more 'white colar' due to a 'fake it till you make it' attitude. It definitly does feel adult.

Also even if you start out in a technical role, there are usually also non-technical career paths (If you think programming is too blue-colar) which you can explore from there.
