I’m currently studying CS. Initially, I thought I wouldn’t be able to intellectually grasp it, but it turned out I could make it through it with a lot of effort (and Wolfram Alpha, Kahn Academy, Wikipedia …). I don’t think I’ll be capable of doing actual computer science research, but I could imagine working as a programmer one day. It’s really enjoyable filling in all these "conceptual holes" that remained after years of informal education as a teenager. Maybe I haven’t got deep enough into programming before college to develop that feeling of university being a waste of time that some seem to share in these comments.
