I was originally a CS Major my first year of college. The university pushed alot of bullshit classes like Calc 4, Math Logic, which turned me off from that and getting my degree in MIS. I self taught myself ASP and started a freelance web development company my junior year of college. I've taken alot of computer classes and programming classes and have found that just trying to get them all figured out is imporssible.
Know what kind of career you want to get into. Do you want to be building software that is packaged and installed individually on computers? Do you want to program database driven websites? Maybe you want to just build computers or get into networking. In any of these cases, just try to focus on one area. Otherwise you will kill yourself. With ASP I find alot of companies in my area use it and so I have been an easily marketable item.
Just don't go backwards. Learning legacy language will kill you in the long run. Fewer companies are using legacy languages and eventually, there will be conversion software to take care of that problem.
