Need some advice on a future in I.T

[Phalanx]

Hi, i'm still taking my GCSEs but it's about the time when you start having to decide what subjects to take for college.
I've always been pretty good at I.T and i'm thinking about wanting to eventually study it at University but i just want to know since i'm sure quite a lot of the people here are people working in the I.T industry if I can be given some advice.
I'm thinking about taking Computing, Media, Maths and a Science at college as then move onto more advanced computer stuff at university hopefully. I want to know if it's actually worth getting into the I.T industry, how many of you wish you could turn back or how many of you love your work?
Im interested in I.T journalism or the games industry, are these aspirations futile?
What subjects are good to choose, is it even a good idea wanting to work in the I.T industry?

Thanks, i think the question might actual be a bit messy

call centres are one place i'm certainly not going to go to

Yup, A Level English certainly and degree wise it's probably going to get you further too. However, the main thing that's going to help you if you're considering journalism is experience, ask your local paper for work experience then when you're at Uni try to get on the University paper. Got a few friends who write for the Uni paper and if nothing else it's good fun

that sounds like a great idea, thanks
