Currently work part-time as janitor while finishing my bs in cs and I make pennies, so I've been trying to find a new job for the last year and have gotten exactly NOTHING. This summer alone I must have applied to dozens of different places and it amounted to fuck all. So I thought, "well, maybe I should just wait until I graduate and try to find something", so I started looking into tech jobs.
EVERYTHING IS AT LEAST 2 YEARS EXPERIENCE. LICENSES IN THIS OR THAT. NEEDING COMPTIA A+ AND OTHER SHIT. Basically, if you aren't already experienced, get fucked. Even if I didn't hate coding, I couldn't find a entry level software job either, they ALL had similar bullshit requirements. The tech industry is so fucking oversaturated it's insane, why was I fed this lie that this was where the big money is? I wish I could go back in time and stop myself from going to college at all and instead go into a trade.
At this point, I don't know what to do. I hate this gay country.
IT is where the big money is. One of my friends develops random AI projects for $400k+/yr. But he's very intelligent and has a great portfolio on top of virtually every cert that's relevant to his field.
Having just a BS in CS is basically like just having a BS in psychology.
You could also try looking for positions at small startups that don't have experience requirements to gain experience and start developing a portfolio/resume. Versatility is king in the IT sector, most people will change jobs every year or so to build out their resume with all kinds of different fields/specialties.
Best of luck, faggot.
