    Even a CS degree is useless in this day and age. Gee, did I waste four years of my time, only to end up unemployed? My other fellow CS grads are in positions that have nothing to do with their degree. Sales, HR, QA. What the fuck?

    I started applying since the second year of my university. That would be around 2019. 2023 will end soon. That's how long I've been jobless. "Oh, then just apply for an internship" - I've been doing this exact fucking thing. All my applications have been ghosted, or I'll get presented with extremely difficult projects, that are for a mid-exp dev.

    If you're re-considering your career in tech, just become a chef or something. The rat-race is mentally draining, I'm at my final straw, and I'd rather burn this stupid degree to warm myself to sleep.

      Not to invalidate your job hunting experience, but did you get a four year degree not to learn but only to get a job?
