Please help me determine course suited for me

Question

Im a fresh graduate of senior high school planning on going college but now im really depressed cause i cant even find my own likes and goals in life. I am planning on computer science but i dont know if this is right for me

Answer 1

What would you want to do? CS is a very broad topic. Do you want to develop websites, games, iOS or Android apps, computer programs, operating systems, etc.

Answer 2

If you like game development I'd learn C# or/and C++, but those are considered harder languages (I'm not sure about C# but C++ has some hard to grasp concepts). As a first language I'd recommend Python or JavaScript. Both are easyish. JavaScript is more web development but it does have other applications too. Python is also used for web development but it's considered a general purpose language.

If your parents consider success to be an engineer, then I'd imagine programming would be fine with them considering it's all about problem solving and building things.

Answer 3

I do like pc games also just computer in general though i find sometimes programming hard to learn. Also i like problem solving i tried searching about subjects in CS and i find algorithms fun. But learning programming is kinda hard for me( or im just learning it the wrong way) im a bit depressed cause asian parents tend to think being successful is all about being manager,engineer,doctor. Its been a month i still been searching what i really want cause i dont really want to waste time and money.

Answer 4

If you dont mind. Can i have bit of advice on learning programming or strategy to learn it?
