I'm a second year (starting 3rd year this fall) physics student and so far I've had 16 courses (4 per semester) and my grades are basically split between D's and C's, and I haven't gotten these grades from a lack of trying. I've worked my fucking ass off, tried all sorts of new and different ways to study, I've read books and even bought courses on study techniques, but nothing's working. I've only got one year left to complete my B.Sc. and so I'm just gonna grind through it to get the degree because it would feel like a waste to drop out now that I'm so close, but man I just don't know what the fuck to do after that. Having just a physics BSc is hardly worth shit so I feel like I should just go and study something else, but I don't know what. My backup plan was supposed to be comp sci but I just got back the results of a C++ programming exam I thought I would get an A on and I got a fucking D, like I don't even understand how it's possible. So yeah, I guess that's not an option because apparently I suck at programming too.
I'm feel so fucking lost

Comp sci student here.
The only people who are good at this are people who naturally just like doing it. That goes for all stem fields.
You went for the money, not your passion.
Retards like you fail every time.
Do what you like, what your good at, it's not fucking hard to balance your talents and find out which one is worth the most.

These days it is pretty standard for high school kids to come out, do some uni course and not know what to do after. 30 is the new 20's, find something you genuinely like, clearly what you're studying now is not your thing, swallow your pride. Forget what your potential salary is. It only really occurs to you a bit later in life after working full time that people realize it wasn't cliche bullshit when people said to do something you love.
Note: It doesn't even have to involve studying, Trades, apprenticships, business doesnt necessarily need further education.

Spend some time and reflect on what you want to do, then pick a masters.degree based in that.
Not all graduates stick to their core subject

You're not dumb, you're just lazy and/or immature. Be prepared to work hard or find something else you're prepared to work hard at. There are no easy marks in life so learn to get over your victim mentality nonsense sooner rather than later.

You say you're no good in your field, and you sound like you don't like it. So why did you choose it?

This makes me feel better but also afraid.

I agree, also comp sci student, u don't do well doesn't mean ur dumb, it mostly has to do with what u like, u shouldn't force ur self do stuff. Btw if ur woman than, ya ur dumb and stem isn't for u

30yo former engineering/physics major here. I feel your pain OP. I worked my ass off for Cs in STEM and honestly dug myself into a hole by wasting all those years in a field I didn't like and wasnt all that good at.
Ended up going to grad school for film studies and loved it. Still trying to figure out exactly what I want to do, but it's nice to know that it wasn't just me being stupid all those years and that there is a place (humanities) that is a better fit for me.
