Don't know if you got any replies do your question, but there are many different areas to choose from when looking at computers as a career.
I personally am a software engineer specializing in web application design and development. I would say there are 3 broad areas in the computer field and each one involving their own expertise.
Software development(writing code, designing applications, web sites,etc)
Hardware (repair, replace,build), this could be PC or larger computers
Computer Communications(network management, security, etc)
There are also other areas too such as database administration, computer support.
The computer field is wide open and needs eager young minds. A lot of people say the good computer jobs are being filled by overseas people, however I believe most of them just do meaningless easy tasks, the harder more complicated tasks are being done here in the good ol USA.
Hope this helps a little, let me know if you want more info/detail.
