Get a CS MIS degree.
Minor in biology.
On a higher plane of bioinformatics is where someone would put genetic computing theory. But you'd need lots of math to get to this plane.
Basically the low end is a guy(girl) who manages biological information. At the high end is someone who designs genetic computing algorithms to reflect the biological functions of the human body.

people do it at home now too.
yay!
beowolf clusters.
I don't have the link on this computer, but there is a web page that is devoted to learning all that shit. I think they have a forum like this for it as well.
sounds pretty cool to me, but I only have enough time to learn so many things. that is on my list of things to learn more of, but I'm not even close now.

Does your dad sound like the lady from Fast Times at Ridgemont High saying, "Plastics is where it's at?"
As an editorial note: I doubt that bioinformatics (on the low to medium ranges) will ever be anymore coveted than MIS in general.
Now the high end of it is a whole different ball game. But early predictions are the genetic computing isn't usefull unless you like massive vats of genetic soup.

Here's a blurb from a website:
Bioinformatics: The science of developing computer databases and algorithms for the purpose of speeding up and enhancing biological research. Bioinformatics is being used most noticeably in the Human Genome Project, the effort to identify the 80,000 genes in human DNA . New academic programs are training students in Bioinformatics by providing them with backgrounds in molecular biology and in computer science, including database design and analytical approaches. (Definition from Whatis.com)
Bioinformatics: a combination of Computer Science, Information Technology and Genetics to determine and analyze genetic information. (Definition from BitsJournal.com)
Bioinformatics: is the science and technology about learning, managing and processing biological information. (Definition from Missouri University lecture)

it is huge here in Cambridge, but coming straight out of school wouldn't put you at the high end pay range (which here would be over $100K a year). probably more like $50K I'd guess.
the problem with looking at industries as being "hot" and using that to deciding on what to study on - by the time you are out of school, there are going to be others that have done the same, flooded the market, and lowered the salaries.
not to mention there will be something else that is "hot"
so for the most part - do what you love
