I'm going to apologize in advance for this wall of text, and if you're looking for me to ask technical questions about the field, that isn't what this post is going to be. So this Fall I'm going to be starting my degree for computer science. To be honest I'm not sure what to expect. I've done research and some people say that the degree will be far more math heavy than it needs to be for a lot of fields, while others disagree. The problem, besides there not being a very helpful answer, is that none of these people seem to even be in the field. What will I be learning besides programming? My goal is to actually be a video game programmer, but I'm getting this degree because I know that could change, and I also like the idea of a degree that isn't quite that niche. So is that a wise choice? I began teaching myself to program some with online resources and such, and have focused mainly on Python as a starting point. However, when I see some of the things people on this site and other places, I have no clue what's going on half the time. Is this a bad sign, or should I just quit stressing? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
