BS in Computer Science at RIT in Rochester NY.

I've been doing different computer programming/development with the same company for 19+ years now. I think the best plan is to start with basic classes at a community college for 1-2 years as you try to figure out what you want to do. Then transfer to a better school to finish. Most of the people I work with went to college for something completely different from what they are doing now. It's not easy to really know what you like doing when you start college and be able to follow it through all the way into the workplace. But definitely try to separate your hobbies with work. I don't spend any time on the computer at home doing programming, I fish, play golf, do car stuff, etc.
