Now that I know CSE isn't for me, can I pursue in Aeronautics?

Hello, I am currently in my final semester of my B.E Computer Science Engineering. The only thing I've realized is that I am not such a good coder, maybe that's why I haven't got placed yet in any of the companies that has visited my campus. Back in my college days, I was inclined towards Physics and always wanted to take up Aeronautics/Aerospace as a Career then, but seeing that CSE was easier I opted for that. Now that I know CSE isn't for me, can I pursue in Aeronautics? How can I validate that probably this is the right career for me? How can I assure myself that the decision I'm taking now is not wrong? If at all there are any workshops for Aeronautics, that can help me with this, please do let me know.

    Dear Niita, 

    Something similar happened to me. I completed my undergraduate degree in physics and decided that it was not what I wanted to do forever. I decided to go to graduate school for  engineering. My physics background gave me a unique perspective for solving engineering problems, just as your computing background will complement/supplement any other career. Use your past experience and education not as a liability but as an asset. Keep searching until you find the right fit for you!  

    My best,
