I have three stepsons, two of whom took the path you are on (computers) and all three of whom eventually dropped out of college. All three are doing well now (in their 30's and 40's) though it took some time out of college to find their path. You can only do what you need to do, going down the "wrong" path doesn't help anyone.

I would see if there is a counseling center with interest tests at your school and take those to see what you could study that would be a better fit for you since you do not see yourself working in the computer field as you are currently studying it. Barring that, I would study the computer field, it's huge, and see if there is some other place for you in it besides programming. Maybe you should be a game designer or repair tech (hardware instead of software) or engineer, etc. Find your passion and go toward that.
