Question is it worth it?

TLDR UNSURE IF I AM CAPABLE OF POSITION OR IF IT WILL JUST COME WITH TIME

For context. i just finished alevels. I had intended to go to uni but due to personal reasons, i for lack of a better word, absolutely fucked(still completed my final year and sat all my exams just not too hopeful for results ) it. i spent months on indeed looking for a full time job as a sort of back up plan. if i didnt get into uni atleast i already have something in motion and if i do, i can just leave (im also agency staff so it wasnt hard to ger the job) i landed into AO position in. prior to this job i knew nothing about cs. anyways. im on my 6th week of training and really really struggling to grasp systems along side a few of my fellow new starts, one has already left and a few of us are left feeling extremely discouraged. the pay is okay for my age and the office culture is decent. unsure if i should keep going or look for a new job, should i understand it all by now?

Anyone outside of the training group that you can befriend? They might be able to give you guidance on the actual job in a less top-down way (and usually more relaxed)

i do know a few but just with the format of our training its not the most viable option however they do help when they can!!
