General... or more specific?

Hey all.... i'm unsure of where to post this. I don't really need to consider courses yet, but i like to be prepared! I'm looking at doing a computer software related course, and it may not even be in Carlow. But I noticed everything in Carlow seems to be quite specific... as in Software Development, or Computer Games Development rather than something like Computer Science, which seems quite broad!

So basically, would I be better off doing a course in Computer Science if I don't have my heart set on anything too specific? I know its kinda my life and my choice but opinions appreciated!

Broad is good if you don't know what you want to do but i'd assume the lack of direction stems from a lack of knowledge. do more research on what you'd like to do. look into web design, programming, applications, all aspects you think you might be interested in and get a better look at what they entail. you'll have a much better idea what discipline to follow then

Also have this in mind "you don't want to be jack of all trades and master of nothing!"
