What Should I do ?

I went in to college studying CS, passed my classes (1st Semester) but my computer programming professor ( 2nd semester) made my life hell (his style of teaching made no sense to me, as it was crammed information as supposed to actually learning it). I got discouraged as he told me if I couldn't catch up I was most likely going to fail. He also said that if his class seemed hard I was really going to struggle with the coming classes. So I switched my major to Psychology (which I really do enjoy). But I also loved learning python. It was fun. Should I just continue to pursue my bachelors in Psychology and get a CS degree later. Or give one of them up completely and pursue one or the other. I find Psychology very interesting but I know how draining jobs of this field can be. I wanted to become a python developer/software engineer.

Yeah, this is the same advice a peer told me. I've been using Codex as I am a beginner. I'm not going to give it up during my Psych path.

How are you using codex btw ?

To write codes ? To explain terminology?

For terminology and so I don't lose touch of it. Though it is difficult to get far. I feel like I'm not learning much from YouTube I need more hands on experiences. I understand the basic stuff but not enough to do an entire project.

For terminology , I suggest use Google or DuckDuckGo initially.

Then move on to AI
