Hey Everyone,
This one is strictly directed towards computer PROFESSIONALS.
I've got an associates degree generals and right now I'm a health care semi-professional. I've been wanting to go into computers since I was about 8 but everyone ALWAYS tells me there's no way you stand a chance unless you're a 4.0+ graduate from Harvard or if you live in India. Now I know that the outsourcing is only half true and theres still some jobs out there.

But would you as a current professional recommend someone majoring in Computers?

If so, what would you really suggest majoring in?
Also, I have a few months off before I start back in college in the spring (I hate taking fall semester) and I was thinking perhaps I should get certified in some specialization. Would you recommend taking this step or is it truly a waste and not even looked at? Also, if so, what certification would you recommend?

I really want to go into computers but I'm not sure if it's a fool's dream.

Also, what do you recommend as a specific major?
