<human>: For as long as I can remember, I have always been interested in computers. When I came to college, I was a Biomedical Engineering major hoping on focusing on computation and electrics. But I slacked off, failed most of my classes, and got kicked out of the engineering school. 

Now I am a philosophy major with only some **very** basic C++ and web design skills I picked up along the way. Since I only have a year and a half left before I can graduate and I want to stay at my current university, I'm more or less stuck in my current major. I enjoy it, but I understand my career prospects with a philosophy degree are basically zero. 

What can I do to get a career in programming back on track from here? Right now I am depressed that I am stuck working a retail job this summer once again while most of my friends are doing prestigious internships.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Fucked up as an engineer. Now a philosophy major. How do I get a "real" career path started again?
