By the title of the thread, it appears that the OP was considering doing CS for a living. That would require studying CS with all the theoretical classes. However, to become a software engineer, you don't even need a degree. It's not clear, from the OP and title, what the OP wants to do. Is it CS, software engineering, software development, or DBA?

Does your high school have any computer programming classes?

I'm just looking into programming and DBA. I do believe I'll still need to take a few theoretical classes for the major requirements should I choose to get into programming.

My understanding is while you can go into programming without a degree, more and more companies are requiring the degree to validate your knowledge, especially with how competitive the field is becoming.
