Cheating through computer science?

I already got a STEM degree, but I went back for another in computer science. After 2 years, I had enough, and all I do is cheat in my classes now. Is that bad? My math has gotten better than my coding btw. I cheated my way through data structures without learning a single thing about stacks, linked lists, Djistkras, or whatever. I just don't give a shit anymore.

My IQ is around 120-125, and it doesn't really feel easy to me. Maybe it's because I'm just not into it?

When you're intelligent, You wouldn't need to put as much effort into trying to understand something. Either your score is fake or IQ itself is bullshit.

It's not really that hard for me if I spend a lot of time on it. After all, I did do well on a lot of my math classes. It's just I find it hard being motivated about coding projects anymore.

I mean, plenty of intelligent people feel more motivated with different subject matters than others.

120IQ is not intelligent. 140+ is intelligent. Most people are stupid.

I mean, why are you acting like an autistic asshole? Plenty of intelligent people probably wouldn't be motivated to learn coding at an efficient rate or whatever. It's just not something I can feel passionate or motivated about.
>>10966302
120-125 IQ is good enough for most fields, I feel. That's what I read from somewhere.

120 is intelligent when it comes to CS.

Not at my University. The CS program is part of the Department of Engineering and you need to get a grade of C or better in Real Analysis to apply.

My passions lie in conservationism. I wish I could become something like an ornithologist or marine conservationist, but I don't think there are any real job opportunities there. Also, I am getting older and need a real job. I chose computer science purely out of pragmatic concerns and not because I particularly enjoy it.

I couldn't handle Neuroscience because I had to sacrifice rats, and I do not think there is a future in fMRI and EEG research given their limitations. I was hesitant to go for a MS due to my reluctance for a loan. I can't tell if I am making the right choice because all I do now is cheat through computer science. I even paid someone on fiverr to do my homework in a higher-level class. I'm just tired of this field and find it hard to remain motivated, especially due to recent depression brought by other goals (i.e, attempting to find a literary agent for a picture book).

Like 70% of the other students studying CS are doing the same thing. Literally just copy/pasting everything from stackexchange and barely passing the theoretical courses by racking up points on the homework and marginally passing/failing the exams.

As a matter of fact, liberal arts are probably ironically harder to bullshit your way through than a course like CS because you can't just copy/paste your essay from somewhere or plug numbers into a calculator and get full marks on your 30% webassign homework. Yeah, you can marginally pass by writing really terrible essays but at the very least the work you submit would have to be your own.
