I thought programming would be the best job for me because I liked using logic to solve problems so I applied for the best faculty in my country that could make me a programmer but failed to get in so I got redistributed to transports and logistics. That was one year ago and now I have the option to continue this
faculty or apply again to the faculty I wanted to get in (they won't let me transfer because the subjects are too different). People are telling me that redoing year one isn't worth it and that I should study programming on my own ,so I wanted to ask:
can I get a programming job that pays me as much and lets me progress in the field as someone who studied programming in a faculty with hard work but without being a genius?
It would seem to me that there are jobs that need you to know the math and theoetical results that mathematicians or computer scientists know.
For example programming for a bank seems to be one of the jobs that pays pretty well, but I think they need to have their shit together to get in (as in cryptography and operating systems).

Those actually came up in discussions I had with my family and professors ,could I take some special courses or is my only option to teach myself?
Someone pls respond

You can get a programming job with any major and you will be paid the same or more than a CS major.

Do you think there are good programming jobs that require knowledge that the faculty I'm currently in teaches that would be inaccessible to someone who graduated CS
for big companies you want a good faculty.
but it doesn't really matter since you want to gain experience first with small company's and a year of experience is more valuable than the faculty you went to
