Hello gulmigtx,
  I would suggest you to go for computer science (preferably computer engineering) and finish your studies since you have said you can do it. Take  ur time, learn and practice.  Its worth spending additional one year if u are seriously looking to build a solid career. But make sure you take it seriously. Try to get internship, involve in project, make a good network. Listen more to those who have succeeded, ask for suggestions and follow the path. Good luck!!!
