Thanks a lot guys, a lot of the stuff has settled down and been resolved by now and I do feel like I am ready to move on to college. To be honest sol, sharkull, the decision between working for a year or going straight through to college has been a major point of interest I've been thinking over for a while. In the end I think that I need to go straight to college. My dad says he can pay my first semester and I have a possible student loan I can get that covers up to 40,000 dollars of expenses, and won't require payments until 6 months after graduation. The good thing about the college I'm going to is that they have the tools that the business field is using, not just the "kinds" of tools they use, and they will help you get a job in the field, as well as the ability to work on campus. I'll be living at home so there are no housing issues, which takes quite a bit of the expenses out of the equation.
Game and Simulation Design, I am almost positive this is the field I want to go into, if I end up not liking that portion then I have many other options in computer science, but I really do want to learn to program. The only other fields that remotely interest me are chemistry and I've recently come to realize that I love the humane society and all the animals there.
