In order to stay competitive in the workplace these days you have to be able to translate your computer abilities into business goals.

When you say you want to go into computer science, do you mean you want to do programming, or more on the systems or network side of things? CS degrees are primarily coding. If you want the sys/net side look into programs like MIS or CIS.

I agree 100% with Jaesum on the 4-year schooling.
I wanted to go more into system/hardware side of it. Programming is kind of a secondary thing I'd like to learn to do, but systems are what I mostly want to do (repair, stuff like that). What're MIS and CIS, btw?
