If your goal is to be the next geohot or Zuckerberg, then yes, you'll fail, but so will 99.9999% of the human beings and even 99% of the computer science students, if your goal is to earn a pretty good payment doing something related to what you like to do (I mean, I think if you're heading for CS you must like computers, even if you don't have much idea of programming, you must like toying with your PC, learning how it works, not just "playing games") then you'll have success even if you don't know much beforehand, because they'll teach you everything you need to know.

As long as you like what you're studying, you'll do well in this career, it's not much about knowing beforehand and more about logical thinking, procedure following, a bit of memory...and some ability for maths at first. And since CS pretty much guarantees plenty of jobs available for you with a good pay, success in it willl carry to your work life....as long as you don't intend to make the new Facebook or hack every console known to man

exactly

my aim isn't to be zukerberg or to hack consoles(atleast not atm...........hehe)

i was just researching for all the requirments and all these guys from computer science that made it big had alot of beforehand knowledge,thats why i was enquiring
