What is the level of difficulty I am willingly to face to get what I want?

I am a university student with computer science as my major at CSUS, and I am planning to transfer to UNR with a 3.1 GPA. I do well on programming assignments but when I face a difficult program, I question myself if I am good enough for a degree in computer science and for the high demanding workforce out there. If this is not bad enough, then comes my friends in the class that seems to know everything about programming while I am struggling. So the question is, is it the right choice for me to pursue this degree?

Hi Dat - Your GPA sounds pretty good. You will have to decide if you want to pursue your degree. Programming does take practice time and effort. If you're truly interested in programming, I would encourage you to pursue it. Also look at other things that possibly interest you.
Thank you comment icon Dat - Your grades seem good. I was accepted into a programming school back in the 80's. It did not come as easy to me as it did to some of my peers. However, i stuck with it and after graduating got a good job, which was a stepping stone to a career at Verizon. Though i did not continue with the programming aspect of my job, I continued to work with computers and the technical side of telecommunications. But bottom line, you need to ask your self, is this what you want and if not, what else are you interested in doing. Terri Sutterfield

Vincent’s Answer

Every programmer comes across problems that are difficult to solve. When you get your first job, it is expected that there will be more advanced developers who can help you and offer advice. For me, the key to evaluating a new developer is if they learn from their questions or keep asking the same type of question over and over. If you are learning from the difficult problems you encounter and you enjoy programming, by all means stick with it. However, if you aren't really getting it, growing, and don't enjoy programming, then you should look for another career.
