Do you need all that to just become a code monkey making 40k a year?Average software engineer IQ is around 130, that's 2 standard deviations above the white mean, around 2% of the white population.
If weren't a top performer in highschool it's over. If you weren't good at math it's over. If you haven't gotten off your ass and learned it already it's over.
I graduated from a top 10 (globally) CS school, do you know how fucking hard that was? Do you know how few people could come close to even getting into that track let alone graduating from it? People who got accepted into the program failed to continue because they couldn't fraud their highschool marks anymore. People who got in dropped out due to difficulty (over 50% major change rate) To get in I had to be top tier academically and then to stay in the program I had to be top tier within university.

Meanwhile you are expected to learn programming languages ad-hoc and recreate core linux kernel programs for moving files around, calculus 1-3, linear algebra, write mathematical proofs about the nature of complex sorting, searching and ranking algorithms, machine learning, building DBMS's that use paging from scratch, multithreaded programming, building a CPU from the transistor level up using a circuit simulator, etc.
