Computer Science grad here. Just finished writing my long and painfully boring thesis, so I'm open to job offers, if anyone has a company that would be willing to pay money for good looks, mild leadership, moments of genius, and a complete lack of interest in programming.
Anyway, my area of interest are mostly mobile communications, wave propagation, GPSs and such, and i find them interesting both in concept and application. Programming i dislike as much as a man can dislike programming, altough, obviously i had no choice but to learn what the course required.
I join Gregoshi's voice in that if you have a very strong interest, it's a great field to get into, but beware, just because in high school you built your own computer, doesn't mean you know anything about the field. That is NOT what this is about. If you wrote your own Haskell compiler though, you'll be in your element.
Sometimes it takes time, and trial and error to find exactly what you want to do. Think that you'll spend 20-30 years of your life doing it. So good luck, and enjoy the freedom.
