Should I Go To College?

I know what you’re thinking… This kid probably is stupid right? Yeah, that’s what I thought you’d think. But please, take the time and read this through, and maybe you’ll get my point.

I’m 16, and a Junior at High School right now, and Im graduating this year. I’m currently a program where I can SKIP my senior year, and start life early. Personally… I just wanted to start college a year early, which sounds like a good idea.

But the profession I want to go into… Are computers.

Basically, I want to be that one company/small-business run by Somebody/I (Or just me) that makes computers. somebody would email/call/meet me, and dicuss what kind of computer that want, EX: Gaming, business, personal, etc. And I customize and sell it to them. It could be on a small scale, or they could order hundreds of computers. Computers have always interested me.

I’m currently in a program called "Banking and Finance" where I’ve learned the basics to starting a business. I’m the top of my school is Terminology/Typing Speed.

Anyway, it probably sounds like I should be going to college, getting a degree, and becoming a multimillionaire, right? That’s what I would like to think.

What if I went to college, learned EVERYTHING about technology, had a good 2-3 years in my business (Paying off my college debts), and then technology evolves? Everything I learned will of been wasted…

I was thinking of just starting fresh out of high school. Maybe take a class to learn the basics of coding/programming/hardware, etc. (I already know a decent amount) (I already built my own/ a friends computer before) I want you guys to tell me if I’m right or not.

This business… In this economy? Just seems to work. Thanks for taking your time to read this, goodbye!

Yes. You should def. go. You’ll be glad you did in the long run. 🙂
Also, thanks for what you said on my question. It’s nice to know what to do from a guy’s perspective. :p

Thanks!

    In the medical field and in the computer field you have to be constantly evolving with the business.

    Anything to do with computers is a good field to go into. I know that a computer tech that works for someone doesn’t make much money unless he owns a business.

    Computer programming / design makes a descent salary.

    Computer IT and security are good too.

    There are many certifications that you need along with degrees but I think it is a good field to go into.
