So I'm a junior in University for Computer Science and software engineering and while I'm a decent coder, I've noticed that I'm not as interested in the Coding aspect of it as others. I don't really think about doing projects of my own and tend to just focus on the schoolwork. I feel like I recognize patterns rather than fully understanding what's going on. I did extremely well in the Coding bootcamp I went to, better than most. But I'm worried that I'm not as into being an engineer as I think I should be. I love working with computers and the process of making something, but I'm always second guessing being an engineer.
Am I just worrying too much? Imposter syndrome?

    donut worry. You don't have to be a developer if you get your bachelor degree in computer science.

    @JhonDoe yeah I think about that often. Then it's a matter of deciding what that will be in the tech industry.

    yah, just let it flow. get to your last periods of college, and you'll get the grasp of what you really want by then. You can try an internship in that time, that helps too.

    After university it took me a couple of years to find out what I liked to do. Some day it just clicked that I wanted to code full time and I grew into the profession over the following years. Work life is much more diverse than people think. Companies are not built from identical lego blocks of coding monkeys and engineers, but of unique people in unique positions, and by jumping on opportunities and involving yourself you will find your niche eventually. Never stop learning and never stop growing. There is so much to explore out there.
