What would be a good major for someone interested in computers?

It seems like there are so many options. I’m interested in troubleshooting and understanding how a computer works. I’d like to be able to fix computers for people and install computer related things, etc. If anyone has any experience with anything like this, or knows of a college major that incorporates this, please help me out, thanks.

There are many programs at university levels…

Computer Science (usually a B.S)
Information Technology (B.S. or a B.A)
Business Analyst programs (B.B.A)

these courses teach theory rather then practical stuff…

For your needs you you may want to check out colleges and go for A+ certification (teaches you about the computer and how to fix it)
You can do Networking certification – teaches you about setting up basic networks at a workplace…

Then more advance you can do CNA (Novell Course), MCSE (Microsoft 2003, 2000 server programs), Cisco certificate (About Routers and stuff like that)…

To start with I’d suggest go with the A+ certifications… its easy and will give a good head start…
