I hear you dude! I was the same way, but I followed it. Not the Fortran and Cobol and other programming languages of the time (except BASIC, though I was fascinated with learning machine language), but I learned the technology, that would keep evolving.My high school was the first school in Texas to have computer math class.
I took it.
I had absolutely NO idea what I was doing. I used my logic and reason to do my assignments.
I got a 91 as a passing grade for the whole semester. I got 90s and 100s on my tests.
And yes, I still had no idea what I was doing.
I wish I had been told that computers would become a base technology. I might have kept up with it and made it my career.
But nobody tells kids the truth about the real world in school. We have to find out the hard way. Which is usually the WRONG way at that.
