A lot of the things you learn at university you aren't going to be using on the job. You aren't going to be finding the median of two sorted arrays (very often). And even then a good google search will lead you to an elegant solution on stack overflow.
Granted it does take a knack to be a good programmer, attention to detail a feel for what's wrong when tracking down a bug.
But every problem will be a struggle the first time but as you get more experience things will get easier and easier and your programming intuition of what to do and what's wrong will become better and better.
There is a wide variety of jobs out there. Maybe test out a few frameworks and see what you like.
I always recommend learning Rails or Laravel because working on web applications is always interesting and both frameworks have great communities and learning resources.
Don't give up if you enjoy it. I think you're making it harder than it is. Your degree just gets you in the door. You're going to learn and do so much that wasn't covered in your classes.
Good luck.
