If you really hate it..quit..HOWEVER....I think personally....You just have to catch up. I made the same mistake at school. I was a CS major with no experience. I went into my first lab and it was a breeze mostly setting up a windows pc and text editor. Lol second week comes in the lab and I didn't know wtf was going on. I coded a tiny bit of Pascal when I was really young. 99% class were Indian people who didn't speak much English or wouldn't help me when I asked and just talked to their partners in punjabi. (No offense Indian peepz) . My partner quit because we were the only two people with no xp and no clue how to even approach anything and nobody wanted to help us including the teacher. My intro to java class was even more of a joke. Teacher came in drunk the first literally. Some crazy Russian. Needless to see he breezed through everything like 100% of the people knew what he was talking about. I dropped out and became a business marketing major two weeks later and grduated with a BS. Fast forward 10 years later I left my marketing job went to a coding bootcamp where the instructors actually helped me understand, and now I am going back to get a second bachelors part time in CS. :) Dont quit its a great industry to be in just udemy, google, stack overflow etc etc through your bachelors and youll be fine :) If I could have done it over I would have, I love programming now that I actually understand it just sucks im 31 now lol. I mean Java isn't a super easy language to learn as your first language also lol...I think maybe python or ruby would be better for intro to cs courses...but thats just my opinion. Maybe other more experienced devs/engineers can chime in there.
