Chris,
The job market is very poor for all computer jobs.
But all jobs are hard to get, and computers will pay good for you if you have the skill, and the job market picks up again.
If your Dad's rich to go a 4 year school and get a Bachelor's degree.
If not, the technical schools can offer good training, cheap in a short time. Then, when you start working, go to night school to get the BA or BS. The education has to continue all your life.
I've been through a lot of this, and remember how I felt 20 years ago. Feel free to send a personal message if you'd like more imput.
A lot depends on what your local schools offer for classes. Also, they should have graduate reports where students who have graduated list their places of employment, job titles and salaries.
Guidance counselors will lie to you. I heard one tell a group of new computer students 'The job market is hot'. Well, he's either not honest or very stupid. They will tell you what they think you need to hear to get your money. Talk to people who are doing the work now, and what they recommend for training. Eggplant's advice is good. Just remember not everything you read or hear is accurate, some of that is intentional.
And a good way to find out which schools have the best reputation in your area is to find out where the employers are hiring from, and what the graduates have to say.
