Hey Guys,
I will be shortly moving into collage and was wondering wether I should even bother taking computing (programming) , all i love is computers and they genrally intrest me all of the time, I dont want to say im clever but, put it this way, im not dumb ;) I was going to take at A level: computing (programming), Physics, Maths and electronics but I thought to my self is there any point becuase there seems to be so many people who are miles ahead of me, even at the same age as me (15) . I have done some c++ programming and really enjoyed it (only basic consol stuff) and im intesested in learning PHP sometime in the near futre, but as a career I just think my chances of "getting there" will be so limited. I am also very intested at the hardware side of things (the reason I am taking physics, electronics and maths and thinking about computing comes into that aswell :) ) So can some of you wise programmers help me make a decision?
Thanks.
 
I don't mean to be pedantic, but this isn't strictly true :)

Other people studying a course should not matter to you if you enjoy it and get something out of it. Why do you think your chances will be limited? It's an extremely wide-ranging sector with a vast array of opportunities around the world and an ever-increasing demand for employees.
