Edit for clarity:I feel like I'm over my head. I feel like I'm doing enough to pass the classes, but I don't know that I'm retaining or truly fundamentally understanding the concepts. My wife thinks it is because I'm not used to things being difficult because most things tend to come easily to me. Honestly I just don't feel as though it's truly sinking in. I'm retired Air Force, so the thought of not being able to get anything but an entry level job after I finish is also not super appealing.

Like the title says, I'm hoping to speak with some graduates. I'm enrolled in the program now, and have finished a couple terms, but I'm concerned that I'm in over my head. If anyone is willing to message me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for your time!
