@Kaderin: Well the summer is coming up which is good. I asked my parents if I could take a semester off so I could find out what I really wanted to do. Their response: "If you quit now, you'll never go back to school." Thanks mom and dad... Yeah, I don't want to rush into something if I just turn out to be miserable. And as for my job, I'm trying to get another one. I've called places but they never called back. I am looking though so I can try somewhere else. Hopefully. I would like to take a break from jobs and just relax this summer but I know that would really upset my parents. They just want what's best for me regardless of the fact that it's stressing me out.

@Coda: That's perfectly fine. I went into computer science because of a course I took in high school. It started off with programming silly stuff like a slot machine and rock-paper-scissors games. I realized that it didn't take me long to figure out these things and I was enjoying myself. I know that must seem kind of silly because that stuff is really easy. I took programming courses in college and after this class this semester I lost my enjoyment in it. So no, the reasoning is not still valid. I was enjoying programming in these classes now when I got an assignment I look at it and just don't want to do it.
I would say it's the whole having a deadline that started to kill the sensation for me. I used to enjoy even doing homework but recently even the simple stuff I hate. Every first program we get is "write a program that prints your name and student number" and normally the next one is "write a program that does simple arithmetic such as add, sub, mul, etc." These things I used to enjoy, now I look at them with regret and misfortune. I haven't worked for a company that requires me to code programs yet. As for coding for fun, I rarely do that now because it feels like it's more of a chore than fun.
I'm not so sure about that. I'm a little afraid of power. I am afraid that if I made a mistake it could cost me my job or the job of one of my coworkers. I'm sure I could adjust or work my way up then feel comfortable. But if I was put in a manager's position right away I get nervous of screwing up. I have been told I work well with others even if they don't like me though. That's a plus, right?
If you mean with my current job, not that I can think of. If you mean in general, I would have to do some research. I think I would enjoy QA, it makes me feel good to help people out regardless if it doesn't pay. I worked as a volunteer where I had to handle situations of dealing with customers. I got yelled at by some people but I smiled regardless.
I hope I answered your questions well enough.
