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.

Don't give up man, all you need to do is keep applying to shit. I spent 6 months job searching after graduating with my BS in basically computer information systems. Got a fully remote job primarily doing database coding in sql and frontend application of a new system (they were hiring for the project). Pays like shit for a 4 year degree job but the expectations for me are pretty low and the work-life balance is amazing.

Just gotta keep trying - I sent hundreds of applications to the wrong job types as well (like web dev - I only had one major project and my head wasn't really in the game). But I did land some interviews for it, I just failed the few I did get to.

Keep at it man and find your niche, if you have a BS in CS you can find something because my degree was technically worse as all the CS students at my school took objectively harder classes. Our degree program was all easier shit - and we only took a few classes alongside the CS guys.

Yeah, but my issue is that I don’t code or anything in my free time so since it’s going to take me so long to find something I fear I’m going to be clueless on what to do by virtue of forgetting. Hell, if it wasn’t for AI like ChatGPT I wouldn’t be graduating at all.
