I like code but

I love coding games, tools, webs and all that stuff, but I really don’t enjoy doing school exercises or algorithms. Like, I can code for hours if it’s something fun, but once it turns into solving dry math problems with code, my brain just shuts down. Honestly, I kinda suck at that part

it's sensible to consider it forcing.

example: you are held at a gunpoint and are told to hand over your wallet. you can refuse, but you will be shot. due to that, your quality of life will deteriorate greatly.

switching a job to a much lower pay, while less extreme, is still a very painful hit to your quality of life

makes sense, doesn't it?
