It was more disappointing (and surprising) when I found that even most of Manhattan isn't like Times Square.
One of the coolest dudes I met studied a technical major straight out of highschool, failed out, joined the navy, came out an adult several years later, went back to school for computer science with the benefits he got from serving (plus, his wife worked), graduated at the top of our class (straight A's all the way through, then a B in his senior year ruined his 4.0) and then got a solid job straight of school.

Maybe study something technical even though you don't like it, just because you want to get payed, save the military as a fallback in case you fail out with a bunch of student loan debt, then save computer science as a fallback to your fallback once you're more mature and disciplined. :)
