Don't go to college. You'll be thousands of dollars in debt and barely have an understanding of how to actually write code. Colleges teach "Computer Science" not software engineering. There is an overlap, but not enough to make a CS degree worth the cost. Go to a technical school or a boot camp if you don't have the discipline to teach yourself. Even better, find someone to mentor you and do an apprenticeship.
Love the college debt point continually being brought up. College debt, in my opinion, is as close to evil as we have in todays era.
Do you have any additional insights on boot camps or technical schools Curtis? I'm thinking I'll just show this blog post with the comments directly to Stevie (the highschooler who was asing me about the computer science career).
I don't have any personal experience with boot camps or technical schools and would love to have something based on someone's real world experience to show him.
