But what if my brain gives me a bad grade in Hobby? :(

Nah for real though. Just. Be bad at shit. Not to get all motivational poster about it, but if you're literally the worst person alive at a given thing, that still means you put more effort into it than the millions of people who have never done it at all.

I'm learning CW right now, and I'm absolutely dogshit, but I do not care. It's not my job, I have no obligation to be an expert at it. Hell, that's just a good rule of thumb for most things in life. Don't force yourself to become an expert simply because "amateur" doesn't feel good enough.

CW stands for "continuous wave", which is ham radio speak for Morse code.
