I have to second this comment. When I went to college Google was just getting started. It hadn't become a concept to search for answers yet. Thus, I was discouraged by a few CS courses I took and studied something else.

Nowadays you can pick up what you need to know so easily. After a decade I finally learned some programming and built some apps. A bug in your code is no longer a show stopper because 99% of the time a quick StackOverflow search has the answer.

You don't need any intense focus or passion about the technicals - all you need to know is what you want to build. And you'll get there.

I built my first app at first only knowing python. Took ages to build the backend and then BAM! "Darn, I only learned half of it!" Then learned JavaScript after finding out there was no way around that :)
