Yeah .. I am a programmer too and industry coding sucks most of the times.. You should not opt for real world programming at this age .. make your basics strong. If you are really interested in algorithms and want to go ahead and do research in algorithms and their complexity then you should learn complexity theory or theory of computation which will build a really strong foundation at this age !
