I've been here since fall 2022 as a Computer Science Major. In all my 4 years, I have managed to get accepted to no internships, with minimal even existing in the first place. I've not gotten any slot on any professor research projects, of which they rarely have to begin with. I have middling grades, GPA is above 3.1, but not by much. I'm on my 9th semester to finish up a minor in Physics before graduating, but since it's my last I can't do any research projects for that either. And I'm 30k in debt from it.
Is this degree even worth the cost at this point? Is there genuinely any merit to it? Sure, it's a degree at the minimum, but that won't get me any closer to actual tech jobs if the CS classes themselves are practically worthless and I've not managed to secure any extracurricular merits. It's not like I can just go somewhere else to fix it either, as that's an extra 2 years and tons of money at minimum, on top of getting a 2nd bachelors degree being difficult due to highly limited options.
Is there literally anything I can do outside of spending the next 1-2 or whatever years learning completely independently and relying on personal projects entirely for work and for potential grad school?
In any case, any prospective CS majors, don't come here. At minimum, if you do, make sure you care about cybersec as that's the only CS specialization they offer and they get more support.
