Depends also on the line of work you want to do. If you want to do
anything with hardware you will need an electronics degree to be taken
seriously.  As a side note - If you are actually interested in computers
rather than just making money [:)], I would say it was worth going to
uni and doing comp sci. just to broaden your horizons.
[ Although the universities seem to think they are in the money making
business these days too ]

Then you could do what a friend of mine has done, get a job with a MSCE
training centre and have them pay your MS proffessional tax for you.

Best of both worlds in my opinion.

PS: It is common knowledge that a fresh graduate in any field is next to
useless practically, so I would say a good balance of star gazing at uni
and some down to earth practical certification courses and working
experience are essential.

PPS: Hardware is a mugs game, that pays poorly.  You have to love it,
to put up with it.
