I am going to be a junior in high school, and i'm looking for colleges to attend that provide computer science-programming & design degrees. I have been searching and I'm still not for sure what to go into when i finish my education with computer science.

It really depends on how well youre doing in school and what your SAT and ACT score will be to get into a good tech school and if youre going to stay close to your hometown.
Go to this website:

I would suggest at least a 4 year degree in computer science. More is always better but I have a 4 year degree and have found quite a few good jobs out there. It was pretty rough about 5 years ago when people where getting laid off right and left but the market is quite a bit better now. Sure, many jobs have been getting outsourced but there will always be a need for in-house programmers who are good. Also, even with jobs getting outsourced their needs to be people in the US to manage these projects so being a project manageer in programming is another good option. Not sure where you are located but when I was searching for school UofI in Urbana-Champaign is a great school. Very reasonable tuition, even for out of state. I ended up at Michigan State cause it was close to home, but not a well known school for Engineering.

There are a bunch of schools that are virtually synonymous with Computer Science.
In my opinion, the top 5 would be:
MIT
Caltech
Stanford
Univ of California, Berkeley
Univ of California, San Diego
Get a degree from any of them and the Internet will be your oyster. :)
