I'm 18 and gonna start a "computing" course in college. I live in England. It will take 2 years to finish. How useful is this and where will it get me, I have no fucking idea what I'm doing.

You will learn stuff about computers that you could have learned for free on the internet.
Depending on the course, there might be advanced notice about job openings or some course focused employment event.
So you're spending two years and a bunch of pounds to maybe get a leg up on getting a job with computers.

What should I do after? Am I supposed to go to university or what? And yeah it's free, I'm not paying anything. Any idea how much I could be earning or if I could even find a job after finishing the college course?

Hello, 19 yr old britfag here. Last year I took an A-Level in Computing. For someone with basic computer knowledge it was very basic bitch stuff. They'll expect you to copy and paste code from the exercises. You don't learn alot but it can look good on a CV (I got A*). I'm now working for an international software engineering company with a good wage and paid-for degree. How well you do really depends on other qualifications and your spaz level.

>where will it get me
You'll probably end up coding websites, battling tooth and nail with Indians for shitty $5 freelance jobs.

How much do they pay you? I'm just looking for enough to be able to live on my own. I guess there is some hope after all
