This makes me sad :(. I think each individual has a different path. You might not be cutout for SWE, but just because Codesmith didn't work, it doesn't mean SWE isn't for you, it's just ONE way to do it. Feel free to chat with me if you want to talk about your experience and get my 2 cents on other things to try.
