   Computer Science is what immediately comes to mind, but it tends to focus on programming. If that’s not your thing, consider Information Science. I think of IS and CS-Lite. You can get an IS degree and do almost no programming. It focuses less on the calculus and physics, although there is some overlap. If you’re really interested in networking, consider Electrical Engineering. I started my MS in Telecommunication and the field is really geared toward those with a solid background in EE.

   One thing to keep in mind is that the kind of jobs you’ll get that interest you don’t really look for a college degree. They tend to be fairly low level, and certifications, like the MCSE and A+ carry a lot of weight. You might just try taking classes you enjoy and getting a fun gegree and then getting various certifications to work in computer support.

   This may help you decide what area you like (maybe what you don’t too), and at any rate, it is well worth a listen:
   For the very best background education, that’s entirely free, go to ‘Security Now’ podcasts with Steve Gibson & Leo Laporte.
   These are 1hr. ‘sit down’ chats, that cover current issues, the how & why, with remedies for security issues, related to internet, networking, etc.
   You’ll need to start with the early ‘casts because these are computer functions & basics, and occasionally it gets a bit tekky, but Steve & Leo do it in real easy to understand chat format, that makes it painless, fun, & interesting (if you like the tech stuff to start with).
   College level education, free.

   Computer Engineering with a concentration in networking or perhaps IT from the sound of it.
