<human>: Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?

First post. Been lurking for two months. I love reddit's insight on these types of situations and I'm sure I'm not alone in this situation.

Anyway, I'm 22 and graduating with a degree in French/minor in Marketing from an 'eh' state university. I've ran the educational gamut: from Film to Electrical Engineering to Finance to where I am now. I didn't discover how awesome computer science was until I started interning at an online marketing firm and now I know it really interests me. I love the idea of just getting sucked into coding the way I get sucked into my short story writing sometimes. It's like art to me. I have so many ideas for websites and web apps I want to build.

I know there are a ton of sources for online learning such as Udacity.com, but I can't help but feel that my efforts will fall short of kids who are receiving their formal educations in computer science from elite universities, or when it comes to writing, all the English majors from all those incredible liberal art schools on the east coast. Better yet, those kids who just ran with their curiosity as teenagers and started companies from their dorm rooms.

I have the drive and the curiosity, but I guess I'm looking for assurance, you know? Every time I see x web entrepreneur is a MIT dropout, or y writer went to Harvard University, or z making-a-difference-lawyer-activist got his JD from Columbia Law, it discourages me a little. It's like, "geez, I wish I had it figured out when I was 18 like these guys did"
<bot>: How do I educate myself to assure that I have an excellent understanding of all these subjects that I want to study - specifically computer science?
