I'd definitely agree with RelaX, atleast when it comes to the computer field. College simply wont teach you what you need to know to land a real job in this field... computer technology changes so fast that by the time you've learned something, its replacement is already hitting the market. Thus through college the best you can hope to get is a general introduction to lots of technology, but you really cant get specific training needed to land a job.
As far as getting a job in the field, its a little bit different than other fields. With most computer jobs, you'll be hired because of your knowledge, not because of how well you can perform a task. So the first thing to look into would be finding out what you like to do with computers, and then learning everything about that niche. If you like computer hardware, look into PC repair/support. If you decide you might want to go into that line of work, definitely look into cerifications, as they're great qualifiers for those kinds of jobs.
