Hi Alt I'm not a programmer, but I've made my living with computing by understanding (or trying to understand!) how to implement what other people create. Being a good sys admin and being able to glue things together are good as a general goal if you're looking to have a career in IT. If it turns out you have the aptitude to be a good programmer, then by all means concentrate on that.
Personally I've met lots of mediocre programmers and very few people who are able to see the bigger picture, understand the business drivers behind why people use IT and help create useful stuff people will buy - and for better or worse, money makes the world go around. I think at your age I'd follow whatever you are interested in. There's plenty of time to find out what you like and enjoy. If you're then able to make a career out of it, great! My other main tip would be not to forget the 'softer' skills in life. If you're a genius techie but are unable to communicate your ideas well and work with other people, you won't get far!
