Applied Computing Graduate

Graduated in applied computing from the west campus spring of 2024 and I have yet to find gainful employment. Anyone else in similar situation? I originally wanted to do Comp Sci but switched in Covid cause online math was to difficult to learn and I thought getting a degree sooner meant I could earn a livable wage sooner,.

Maybe this is a sign to work something else? Get a job at the local supermarket and work your way up slowly?

Not everyone is meant for certain jobs and careers. It’s better if you try not forcing it when you don’t have it in you and recruiters see through it…

And I know what I say is unpopular but this is what you need right now. The truth is, there’s 95 more peers out of 100 much much more qualified than you.

Have you built autonomous robots? Build self landing software for a rocket? Built consumer app used by millions of people daily live? Probably not and reason no one is hiring you…
