You need to have higher than average stubbornness.
If you are not stubborn, you will give up when you hit a wall while programming. In programming you will hit walls so often that they should sell you health insurance for it. So if you are easily frustrated, you should not be a programmer. You can study CompSci, but you shouldn't be a programmer.
In the midst of working my OWN small little project, I hit numerous walls due to my unfamiliarity with the ADO.NET DataSet class. It was a really SMALL project that only does one useful thing! I'm not kidding you on how small it actually is, compared to numerous products and projects out there, the whole thing doesn't even compile to 1 MB!
IF I wasn't as stubborn as I am, I would have given up at this point! So really, being stubborn is really a virtue if you are a programmer, it not determination it's stubbornness.
