If you are choosing between majoring in Business and Computer Science, and you don't know what Computer Science is, here's my suggestion:
Major in Business.
I think that sums it up nicely.
Plus, a college will teach you how to make a computer how to fix a computer and in general all you need to know to be the brains in a company when it comes to understanding went went wrong with the computer. They teach you all the needed skills to compete with hackers etc etc etc.
Hacking isn't taught by anyone that wants you to advertise it. You won't get any credit for your skills until people are constantly asking YOU for advise on hacking skills which you will deny you ever had. And you will be a nobody hacker until you realize your actions are being watched by people you don't want to actually meet for real.
If you are good in College and your marks high, you might have a chance at owning your own home. If you are a good hacker, well it doesn't come with an income, you will need another source of income. Unless you can figure out how to steal electronically and not end up in jail.
There is no retirement package for hackers, and you likely end up only knowing people that will turn you in at the drop of a hat, especially if it gets them off of a minor criminal charge by informing on you.
A decent computer tech can likely live an ok life, and it's all legal. Your only fear will be a boring 9 to 5 and a nagging wife.
I like to think I know a few things about computers. But really, this is all I know.
I can assemble ordinary basic parts and not have them short out.
I can format my computer and install an OS.
I know how to download a torrent, and I know how to process downloads from a newsgroup.
I can make ordinary copies of ordinary data.
I know sweet diddly about hacking.
If I had your choices, I would be going to business school too.
