Computers and technology will only increase as time progresses. Computer programmers/techs start out making decent money. And as others have said, find something that you want to do that makes you happy. Nothing will be handed to you; YOU have to work for it! If something makes you happy, working becomes less like work.

So my advice to you is while searching for what you want to do do your best at what you are doing in the mean time, or it might come back to bite you.
Great advice!

I'm not sure if pharm school's acceptance is the same as med school's, but there are multiple factors, in addition to grades, such as experience, the entrance exam (PCAT), community service, etc. They may also look at the trend in grades through college, so putting more emphasis on your grades now should look good on your record. I was also told that actually finishing school and obtaining a degree shows that you follow through and finish what you start, a plus in the acceptance committee's eyes. Good luck to you two!!!
