I went to a college interview yesterday and got asked what sort of thing I want to do at un/when I'm older. I said computers, partly because a) there probably isn't that much else I can do & b) it's probably the only thing I can do that I'm good at.

I then handed the interviewer 2 pieces of paper, which explain what is and the problems I have as a result of it. (can only read in large print, can't stand bright lights, get tired easily, etc)

Anyway, she saw something about getting tired easily and said that I'm likely to have problems if I work in IT. My question is, do people who have really have any problems working with computers?

Not enough details to really help -- do have physical injuries / disabilities that you need help with? Why do you think there is "not much else" you can do? What sort of college is this?
Are you a returning student or "regular" college age?

What do mean "get tired easily" -- like narcolepsy? Breathing issues?

Find a different career path. Sorry to be blunt, but that is the only way to put it. You will not have success in the industry.
