CS skills are the 4th "R" of our times: Don't give up on them!

Look around you, there's literally nothing you can do without access to technology. The largest five companies in S&P 500 are technology companies, control 25% of the revenues of that powerful index. In today's digital economy, just knowing the three Rs i.e. Reading, wRiting and aRithmetic are clearly not going to get you over the hump. 

My daughter Shreya recently taught a remote learning class in Python programing. For an CS class she had great success with a 100% course completion and that was attended by a global audience. She requested I join one of the sessions to talk to the needs in the field and I happily obliged.
