Though I had done some html and css before I turned 30, I didn't start programming until I was 33, and now it's my full time gig, so no. At 25, you're still just a pup. Also, from what I understand, it isn't rare for CS students to be somewhat overwhelmed when starting programming in the real world. In the real world, the technology stack moves very quickly, while most universities are still focused on things like Java. Possibly because these languages are better at teaching you skills that get you into good habits, but I'm not sure. A word of advice, don't get caught up in chasing every new language, framework and technology. Choose wisely and learn what you're going to need for the next 5 years. Ruby is very much in demand at the moment, and javascript is growing considerably, both because of client side and node.
