My future
Been talking with my sisters about college and im thinking about goin to college for computers. Do you think thats a good idea? Does anyone know how many years of college would i need?

You have to pursue a degree. You can't just say computers. There are computer science degrees, computer engineering degrees, graphic design specializations, system administration programs, ect.
Regardless to have an actual degree that allows true upward mobility and a range of job qualifications you need a bachelors degree which will take you about four years. You can pursue a technical degree that only requires two years of study but it will be highly specialized and limit the jobs you can qualify for.
Two year degree = you set up wireless networks for business and stuff
Four year degree = you can work for Google or Microsoft

Typically for computer science or engineering you need to take several programing languages, calculus 1-3, differential equations, and a host of other things

Turning a hobby into an occupation is bad for some. I did a year of business administration in ICT and dropped right out of that shit.

Why is that?

Because sitting in front of a computer all day actually doing work is not how I roll.

This is true. I was going to do graphic design but the more I did it the more I began to rethink it. Now I'm looking into "Computer Networking and Technical Support" and "Computer Engineering Technology".
