Since you're only 15 and about 3 years away from worrying about college,
try picking up programming from a book. I'm 19 and was in the same
position as you. When i started school i was taking all computer
courses. Eventually i realized that anything they were teaching me was
not going to be useful in the job market. I had already taught myself
Java by that time (a class which was reserved for 3rd year CompSci
majors), so I (as well as some of my co-workers and professional
contacts) felt that a CompSci major was a waste of time. I talked to
many people about this and they have all told me the same thing: If you
have the knowlege and experience (as you do), then get a liberal arts or
a business degree. You'll open yourself up to many more fields that way.
I myself am double-majoring in English and Music.

BTW, someone, somewhere, at some time is going to put the idea of not
going to school into your head. Don't listen to them.
