> Right now I'm only interested in my electronics, math, and 3d modelling/animation … I'm looking into embedded systems since it's "closer to the metal," I have some arduino parts lying around, and I do like C and assembly better than high-level languages

So really there’s multiple subfields of CS that you like, you just don’t like everything and you think that it’s problem? Stick to CS, you’ll be fine.

It seems like I like multiple things about computers, but I don't like programming, specifically, and that's what I find myself doing for hours a day because of this degree. And that's apparently to be expected in this field.

Do you know what it is that you dislike about programming? Even within programming there are lots of different types and styles, and there might still be a subfield that doesn't have the problems you have with coding.
