Ken’s Answer

It is normal to be confused; however, I think that I can help you with your education/career journey. During my years in Human Relations and College Recruiting, I have found that the following steps will greatly help you see a path towards your goal. Many people starting out in this area get a great start at a community college, as the classes are smaller meaning more one on one support, the tuition is less, and they have coop and internship programs, which will allow you to earn and learn and get career experience and develop meaningful networking connections that will help you along you education/career journey.

Ken recommends the following next steps:

The first step is to take an interest and aptitude test and have it interpreted by your school counselor to see if you share the personality traits necessary to enter the field. You might want to do this again upon entry into college, as the interpretation might differ slightly due to the course offering of the school. However, do not wait until entering college, as the information from the test will help to determine the courses that you take in high school. Too many students, due to poor planning, end up paying for courses in college which they could have taken for free in high school.
Next, when you have the results of the testing, talk to the person at your high school and college which you might plan to attend who tracks and works with graduates to arrange to talk to, visit, and possibly shadow graduates who are doing what you think that you might want to do, so that you can get know what they are doing and how they got there.

Locate and attend meetings of professional associations to which people who are doing what you think that you want to do belong, so that you can get their advice. These associations may offer or know of intern, coop, shadowing, and scholarship opportunities. These associations are the means whereby the professionals keep abreast of their career area following college and advance in their career.

It is very important to express your appreciation to those who help you along the way to be able to continue to receive helpful information and to create important networking contacts along the way.

Darren’s Answer

Definitely take a lot of computer science classes as they will give you the foundation you will need in order to succeed. CS classes can only get you so far though. I would suggest taking public speaking or some consulting classes that will help you develop your social skills. learning to interact effectively with your clients and your peers is a skill that is more difficult than one would think.
