I graduated in May with my associates degree, and sadly after applying a bit nothing, not even a reply email. I am convinced I am just unprepared for this industry, I will admit I don't have a GitHub with 1 billion contributions, and a bunch of connections. but can I seriously get nothing. I can't afford the 25K needed for my bachelors. I am honestly considering put in my applications to target or whatever and giving up.

The tech industry is rough rn, and people with a bachelor's plus internships are having a rough time, so your position is gonna be even tougher.

With that said don't stop applying. Apply to any and every programming job and don't be picky. Even if you only get $40k out of college, after a year of work experience you'll have many more opportunities!

from what I am getting at here, not to be negetive but my degree is kinda useless and I 100% should be looking for min wage jobs. I don't really feel like I will have time to build anything else for myself lmao
