IT is a broad field. Do you want to study computer science or informatics? Do you like maths and programming?

^ My 2c: Informatics is relatively simpler in terms of mathematics and programming, and focuses on solution design. Think of an informatics graduate as someone skilled to represent what an organisation does on paper, and then programmers and build what was design (or recommend a software package for it).

Informatics can be used to kick off a career in software development. However, you will need to do a reasonable amount of upskilling in the relevant programming languages if you want to take this road.

Some of the roads in IT:-
1. Software development
2. Business Analysis / Solution Architecture
3. IT Auditing
4. IT Support / Service Desk
5. Academic research / lecturer
 
Maths is not my strong point and Computers are my thing! I obviously want to do as much as possible and I would like to be able to offer more than a few services! According to most information Informatics will suit me best and I will enjoy it!

Then BSc IT isn't for you.
 
Then do it.

Also, you seem to have spilled something sticky on your "1" key, maybe clean your keyboard, else eve!ryth!ing yo!u ty!pe looks shou!ted!
 
I would like to be able to give software support, set up and maintain networks and I would like to be able to build computers and understand all the components! Basically anything but programming for now! Would also love web/graphic design!
 
I currently jump around a lot! Basically just earning a salary to survive! I never really enjoyed what I did in the past! I am always helping everyone with their pc problems! I am brilliant with finding a solution to the problem, because I have this amazing natural understanding of technology, but it is frustrating not to have all the info or background! I think with the necessary knowledge I will be unstoppable!

Yea me too. There are multiple options for punctuation. They have their own section in the keyboard in fact. Additionally, you could use double space to make a period (.).

Your incessant !!!!!!!! is really quite distracting and detracts from your posts, makes it seem you have a poor grasp of grammar which makes me wonder how you'd cope doing a BSC.

What is your case? Did I catch you on a bad day? There is nothing wrong with my grammar! Not that I have low standards, but this is a informal discussion! I am looking for friendly advice. I recommend that you revise some of your people skills!

Then even less reason to to a BSc IT, because you simply don't do that.
What you are looking for is a selection of certificates and short courses.
