I'm really into computers and coding, but I only enjoy it when I have a lot of energy or I'm feeling positive. Mental well-being is super important to me, and I'm worried I won't enjoy a career in computer science. I love the satisfaction of solving problems, but it feels like once I solve one, another one just pops up. I sometimes get overwhelmed and want to shut down when I hit a confusing topic. I can't think of another career path to explore; maybe something in medicine, but my grades aren't great enough for A-level biology or chemistry. I do have a passion for math, but I lack the grades for A-level math. Can anyone give me some advice on what to do?

It really depends on where you’re located and the local job market. If you're in the UK, maybe think about roles in IT or tech support. You can use your computer skills there without the constant pressure of problem-solving that comes with coding.
That’s true! Less coding doesn't mean less tech, and those fields can be pretty rewarding too.
