my mom thinks that because I know how to burn a CD and work the TV remote I'm some sort of underachieve Bill Gates. I hate it. Even getting a A+ cert makes me want to kill myself.
really I just thought it would be easy money, maybe it is for some but not me. I'm going into music production instead.

op here, i know this feel. Everyone thinks because i can fix their retarded pc problems that they create by clicking around things randomly i am a god when it comes to computers. But as i realised here i suck, time for some manual labor/ night time guard duty job i guess

yeah, and unless you genuinely love IT/CS there's no point in forcing yourself to learn it.
Do what you love, and if you can't really make a full-time career out of that then just work a job for money until it picks up
>>25252999
I'll green text my IT career path anon. time frames and pay are rough.
