Let's be realistic, is coding for everyone

I'd like to make this short and get yall opinion. I just graduated from college with a computer science degree. Never got the hang of coding and it was always so hard. I made it through and passed my classes. In school i dealt with C++ and Java. Right now i'm working as an IT for sometime. However I met another gal who recommended me to learn javascript and react. He said they're easier, in demand.


But if i didn't like coding in school, will i really like it outside of school where i'm trying to learn it on my own?

It's definitely not for everyone. There are other things to do in CS that aren't necessarily coding. But if you don't like it, don't try and force yourself into it.

I think it would be better if you do enjoy it, but there are a lot of people that do it but don't enjoy doing it.

I started studying CS for 1 year but then I decided to quit because I didn't like all the stuff around coding. I applied for a full time office job and started learning coding by myself and I couldn't be happier with it. Coding is a nice hobby for me but I could never do it as a full time job.

i studied cs for 1 year in uni before telling myself "this isn't for you"

switched to something i enjoy doing aka helping people, i'm a lot happier


def not for everyone, and for sure i think it's def people who think outside the box vs staying within lines
