Would you say Computer Science is difficult?

Would you say Computer Science is difficult?

If you do work?  No.  If you wait till the day before an exam/assignment, then why sir, yes.

I only had a few CS classes but yeah it's not a cake walk.

I'll wait then.

More horror stories. 
What about it is difficult?  A lot of work like DKK suggested or is there more than that?

Also Legend, are you planning on finishing school?

It's something I'd really like to do, but I'm not sure if it really helps my career at all. I can get most of the game development knowledge myself and save thousands of dollars while I'm at it. Plus game companies care way more about experience and skill verse having a related degree. Right now my plan is to finish VizionEck and go from there.

That's why I was wondering.

Well for me it just depends so much on how successful VizionEck is. If the game bombs every way possible, then I'm definitly going back to school. If it does ok, then I'll probably do part time school while I work on my next game. If it does great, I'm probably not going back to school till after my second game. If it does amazing, I'm probably doing full school for three years and game dev just on the side.

Depends really. If you can get a good understanding it is good, but you need to realize that classes won't teach you everything. I had to learn most of what I know on the job.

You are a mind reader! 
I was wondering how much its success would do with school too.

Honestly I've heard so many different opinions on the difficulty of CS just from reading today. 
I've heard pretty much everything from "It's one of the easiest majors you can have" to the easily one of the hardest.

Well everyone is different.

Judging off how most of my friends handled it, it's hard but nothing horrible. I personally found it really easy but mostly because I started programing at the age of 5.
