Go to college. Seriously. It sounds like you're at least considering a field that pays well and it's not like computers/computerized tech will ever see a downswing any time in the foreseeable future. Going to college can sometimes be seen as a waste for a liberal arts education (most of the time only here and on Reddit), but I don't necessarily think that's true either. I have an art degree, with a minor in advertising, and am a professional software engineer right now. I changed my majors three times in college (from business to psychology/advertising to art/advertising), and stuck with it at the end to just finish up. Would I go back and choose a different major with more readily available job prospects after graduation? Not a fucking chance. College is a chance to continue mingling with smart people your age, who you've never met, and some happen to be extremely beautiful girls, and life's too short to be an efficient programming worker-bee when you're 18. GET EXPERIENCES. These lead to creativity, which in my opinion is the most important factor of all. If you're resourceful, open-minded, proactive when necessary and going with the flow when not, then I really think the world is yours. It may take a while to get to where you want to be, but it's still yours.
