Guys, need your help:

22 yrs old from Spain, been programming since 19 and with 20 started to do it professionaly.
Last year, I started software engineering at University to reach my goal : Artificial Intelligence, but the more time I spent in there, the more I realized the classes are extremely theorical and useless in terms of pragmatism for the real world, ending up in a constant loop of frustrations and thinking I´m wasting my time.

Maybe I´m not the only one with these problems, so how do you deal with this?

Thanks.
