How do you cope with being not good enough for physics/math?

An all too common story. I wanted to become the next Feynman, but couldn't cut it for MIT, Harvard, Caltecth, etc. Entered some low rank unis. Turns out only dumb fucks do physics/math in low rank unis. Yes, I'm one of the dumb fucks. Struggling just to graduate from my undergrad. The incompetents as group/lab partners just make it worse. Now doing master, same story.
Thinking to get a job. Now I realize I'm not qualified for anything. The banking and software eng jobs for physics/math students are a myth. I couldn't find any. They prefer actual finance, CS people. But I'm not in the US. Perhaps things are different in the US. I'm in Germany, if you want to know.
Right now, I'm just taking as much as CS courses as possible. And perhaps someone is kind enough to take for as an intern.
