Also if you like computers as people are suggesting above, become a Computer Security Tech, my Uncle works for Delta and their system got hacked by their old employee's account which wasn't canceled and he was stealing money, so they hired Security tech's to watch over the system and got paid like $500 an hour he said. I was like wow this is my second option of the Military fails for me.

At university, I'll learn about multiple things, such as software design/coding, some graphics design, some web design, and IT studise such as network management ect. I'll probably end up becoming an IT worker for some company and do web design on the side. I really enjoy web design. I might actually become a software designer. It depends on what I enjoy in college. I've been studying Visual Basic, and I really enjoy it. Anyway, this is about you, not me. I'd recommend taking a broad subject like Computer Science if you can. It doesn't sound like that's an option though. Can you not take misc. classes that aren't related to your "focus" (IT), such as web designing classes and such to see what you enjoy the most? Sorry, I'm super ignorant about the UK's education system.
Seems as though you have some of the same plans as me there elek.
what ever you like most, you job is something you gotta stick with a long time!
IT/Computer Security offers a great career potential!
and no, it's not illegal in most places to title yourself as a CEO. The title of Cheif Executive Officer is not exclusive to corporations, it's a position unincorporated businesses and sole proprietorships use as well. Yo! CPA!
You've previously stated that you're interested in both computers and gaming, why not do both? It may seem like a long shot to you but in reality pretty much anything is in reach and perfectly achievable if you set your mind to it; why not become a games developer?
Computing and gaming open up a wide range of career possibilities and opportunities.
Best of luck with whichever career path you choose to pursue.
