Should I switch degrees
Initially, I picked Computer Science in university because of its vast career opportunities and potential salary earnings (6 figures); however, I'm not sure if its the right subject for me as I am finding it difficult, and I'm not sure if I want to pursue a coding career. My end goal is to have a career I love that pays well and then transition into the entrepreneur space.

That's an inconsistent goal. Careers don't pay well until you've been in them for a couple of decades, unless you hit investment banking or professional football from the outset. So be a little more realistic, and look at your skills. Failing that, just do the subject you are best at - that way you are most likely to get a good university and degree grade, and from there, most things are still possible.
