School doesn't hurt but after interviewing possible interns all day today, PICK A MAJOR THAT INTERESTS YOU.
If you're in the CS/IT field and you don't find computers interesting enough to learn stuff on the side, you're gonna be without a job for a long time. I had to eliminate three guys today because their school taught them ASP.net and they never bothered to learn PHP on the side. Unless they're planning to work for a Fortune 500 company, that ASP knowledge is virtually useless.
School is a great stepping stone but students need to realize that work is required outside the classroom to succeed.
Anyway, back to reading resumes.... sigh.
