I'm 18 and gonna start a "computing" course in college. I live in England. It will take 2 years to finish. How useful is this and where will it get me, I have no fucking idea what I'm doing.

You will learn stuff about computers that you could have learned for free on the internet.

Depending on the course, there might be advanced notice about job openings or some course focused employment event.

So you're spending two years and a bunch of pounds to maybe get a leg up on getting a job with computers.

Hello, 19 yr old britfag here. Last year I took an A-Level in Computing. For someone with basic computer knowledge it was very basic bitch stuff. They'll expect you to copy and paste code from the exercises. You don't learn alot but it can look good on a CV (I got A*). I'm now working for an international software engineering company with a good wage and paid-for degree. How well you do really depends on other qualifications and your spaz level.
