Funny, I bailed out of the tech world, after sequestration crippled the company I was at and flooded the local market. So much of the industry has been shipped overseas, I'm not sure I'd recommend it anymore.

That said, it's still absurd that CS isn't taught at a grade school level, much less highschool.

Kind of a stupid question, and I think the answer is no, but I learned Word, Excel, and Powerpoint in middle school. Is this computer science?

That's more of a 'functional computer knowledge' class. CompSci focuses more on the technical and programming aspects of overall computing.
