I am in the same boat as you - I enrolled, and now realised I am at the bottom of my class - simply not smart enough.The following is a bitter pill I am swallowing, but like most unpleasant things, it actually does more good than the fake platitudes of “Follow your dreams!” or “You can do it!” or any other meaningless motivational slogans.The blunt answer to your question: Don’t.More specifically, don’t study it as your primary job. Don’t do it as if your income depends on it. Because the truth is you (and I) will never be good enough to be a genius. There are terrifyingly smart people out there - and we can never ever become them. It is a physical change in the brain that makes you a genius, not determination and perseverance etc… You simply caot lea to become a genius even if you tried for several lifetimes.Let that sink in. Take your time. But please read on.What’s more important is a fulfilling life, and the key to that is to find something that you are GOOD at AND something that you ENJOY. Work on that to the best of your stamina. That will give you PURPOSE and therefore happiness.Giving up is a good thing somethings. It’s exceedingly hard for some of us (I’m nearly in tears writing this post) but it’s necessary.In short: if Albert Einstein decided he wanted to be a champion basketball star, even if he lacked the physical attributes, he would never be known. He would have wasted his life trying to be something he wasn’t.I sincerely wish you and everybody reading this

I'd also like to add that at the end of the day, we all have to work. Barring marrying rich or wiing the lottery, the reality is, most of us are going to be pulling in 40 - 50 hour work weeks one way or another. Some of us are going to get paid well for what we do, and some of us aren't-- even if the effort we put into it is the same. That's just simply the reality. The key question is to ask yourself what kind of lifestyle is it that you want for yourself and look for a career that will allow you to meet your own requirements.The other thing to consider is the fact that loving your career doesn't at all equate to success. People fall in and out of love with their career all the time. Why? Because sooner or later, they realize that a career takes work and not all of us have the character to step up to the challenges demanded of even the things we love. To be really successful in any kind of field takes a certain kind of character. You need perseverance, confidence, effective self-management, knowledge, skill and the ability to self-motivate. If you don't have those traits, you're probably better off pursuing something that's going to give you better job security and decent pay. The truth is, if you're naturally someone who gets discouraged easily or balks at the first issue of a challenge, you're probably not going to do well in any field where you have to eat what you kill.Alot of people seem to have this mindset where 'well, if I find a career I love, all those character
