It is the nature of the hacker to question everything, even his inherent hackiness. You're perfectly normal. Now relax and go build something.
Take it from me, it isn't. I got a degree in philosophy. It isn't all bad. It will teach you to read fast, write well, and think logically. It is basically the study of logic and how it relates to language.
If it makes the OP feel better, I went Philosophy, Law, and now all I want to do is hack. The grass is always greener.
Now, we should both just make something.
