Bro, everything down to the "imposter syndrome" is why I left programming and am currently in nursing at the moment. I refuse to die at a computer. I don't know what I was thinking at the time, I guess it was that glamorized idea of what computer science would entail, as you suggested.

Probably could have made it if I went a route that got me into game development but even that is hell for most people. I never felt like I was making an impact on the world, even if minor, I honestly felt like some wage slave in a cage. And man, not saying go my route, but the number of CS and CIS people I run into would blow your mind. I guess we just don't have the patience, and no offense, but we lack the "tism" to continue working in that field. So it was that on top of wanting to help people, and significantly less work days in a year that motivated me towards nursing. I don't even care about pay, just not going out sacrificing my time for what I deem nonsense. Good luck though, OP, porn stuff aside.
