problem solving skill comes with experience dealing with real world problems. sometimes school alone is only part of the equation. your problem solving skills overlap with computer science knowledge, but they are also different things. passion is more important, because if you have passion then your passion can take you from where you are now, to where you want to get to. it takes time to become very skilled, even if you did excellent in cs. nothing is as good as experience. so if you are passionate about it, keep at it. you won't get there tomorrow, but you'll know more than you did today. always try to re-evaluate what your doing and if most of the time it lines up with your passion, your doing better than a lot of people!
