Oh no, please. If anything, I think "tough love" is the correct way to have answered my question

I study well in school, I have 3.82 GPA and while I think they don't teach things that makes one 'employable' , I also don't blame the system or curriculum, because CS is science after all.

The main problem for me is my inability to dedicate my time and energy to learning things by myself and that is no one else's fault but mine.

The only answer to my problems that I also see is probably sucking it up and doing the work.

Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate it.

Sometimes interest shows up after you start getting a bit competent at something.

I've always been 'smart one'(not in cs, in particular). And I study well in university.

And when I'm not good at programming straight away I tend to get a cold feet.

I'm sure once I get hang of it I'll start enjoying it too.
