Honestly, I think you should get a degree in business and learn computer science on the side. Computer science is widely known as a field that people without a degree can get a job in (source: my extensive research as a computer science major in a software engineering internship).
Otherwise you could get a degree in computer science with a minor in business -- that's a good route to take too.
Either way, I'd suggested going for a degree with less years spent in school, like a bachelor's degree first, because you can always* go for a graduate degree after you get your bachelor's anyways.
* = After so many years out of school, you have to retake certain classes.

Yeah I agree with what you said about the first part, a lot of school leavers get a job related to computer science. However, IMO their job opportunities will be so low and even if they found a job, they won't get paid as much as you would if you had a degree. I'm not planning to stop after I gain my degree, I will go for masters and i'm even considering going further depending on how much money I gained from part time jobs.
Furthermore, I did some researches about the salary for both computer science related jobs and business administration related jobs. At the start of your job as a business administrator you don't really get paid much however, your salary increases depending on your experience. Also, I seemed to be interested in IT security it's a nixe job where you defend against hackers for the company or the police. The salary is also good for IT security jobs, it starts even then gets high depending on your experience. The salary of a job is an important factor but, there is no point getting into a job that you won't be interested in just because you could get a good salary.
I finished school last year and i'm 16 years old right now. I can do one year in college then do a foundation year in university then starts with my degree years. Or, I can do two years in college then move into university and starts with the degree years straight away. I have few months to make my choice if I wanted to do a foundation year in university.
I came into college wanting to be an engineer, but I have been looking at switching to a multimedia journalism major. Do whatever you're interested in and take classes you've never thought of taking before.

That's really interesting, my new teacher told me the same. I will discover new classes (related to computer science/ICT) while I'm studying ICT in college. I will stick to doing ICT in college but, I coud do another degree rather than doing computer science in uni.
Lol you're gonna need good memorization skills and study methods regardless of which subject you learn.
There is a **** load of memorization needed for chemistry and biology.

You missed understood me, I never said you don't need memorization skills at all for maths but you need more brain skills than memorization skills. For example: problem solving, organizing, calculating. Talking about calculating, you don't get a calculator for every math exam. It's usually 2/3 of your math exams with a calculator.
