what do you guys think I should do?
I'm 21, I've always been into programming, however I really don't know how to measure how good I actually am, I've coded stuff for years, although only the last years I made noticable improvement. I code on a daily basis (small projects for random people, not employed). I like making backend stuff, not the visual things, even if it's often required, I
just find it very dull to work with web frontend for example(90% of the time I spend with this is googling how to do something with css/javascript).

As I said I have no idea how to measure my knowledge, I'd say I'm quite good as I can "make" alot of things people would need, and I'd say the quality of my code is fine, but then again I've mostly done lighter stuff in php/c#, really uncertain how to even phrase it. I don't have any experience with the newer stuff people use for web development which seems to be wanted in the market.

I think that I'm missing the "deeper" knowledge of programming in general, I know the "How" but not really the "Why". I imagine this is something one would learn from university, however due to me being awful at math, I've not yet applied to computer science(/information technology), and I fear my knowledge wouldn't be enough for an actual job.

I've always liked to create stuff, code things and make things connect and work efficiently and all that, but the one thing that's holding me back is the idea of spending 3-5 years studying for a job which will lead to sitting in front of a computer my entire working life. Anyone who did this and regret it?

I've also considered something like studying psychology because I find, atleast the idea of it, interesting - no idea what the studies would be like like. apart from that I'm completely clueless about what I'd like to do.

Anyone who's been in the same situation?

I'm just going to leave this here.
