You might as well give up.

Every year, at probably every college, the entry level physics classes,
math classes, CS classes start up full. At the end of the quarter or
semester most are only 25%-50% full--those students suddenly decided to
follow another course of study and are consulting with their counselors.

So, sometimes, it is that way in life ... but you sure got determination!
