I will give you THIS advice, from personal experience:
If you love computers, get a degree in something else, but throw in as many computer-related courses as you can.
I tell you this, because as Chuck so succintly pointed out, the corp world is not the best.
In computers, you can *AND WILL* eventually burn out. And more than once.
I'm not even 40 yet (few more weeks!) and I've burned out about 3 times!!
once, sold cars, 2nd time, repaired electric forklifts, third time, I forgot WHAT I did!
Getting work experience in a computer field, but a degree in something else, will have you covered for now and near future, as well as longer into the future if you burn out.
Just my $.02 - keep the change
