I haven’t even graduated yet and I’m already in a weird IT stint.
Comment on Coding students whose jobs were taken by AI forced to find work at Chipotle
reddig33@lemmy.world 1 day agoIf you have a degree, you can work somewhere else besides Chipotle. It might not be in the field of your major, but it will be better paying than fast food.

I’ve tried applying for jobs that didn’t really require my degree but was adjacent to it like data entry and help desk after graduating unemployed, only to be met with more rejection and failure. It’s as if my degree doesn’t exist. Unless you have any suggestions for a job that only requires a non-specific degree, but I’ve heard having a degree in itself isn’t valuable to employers at all unless it’s related in some way to the job. Either way, I’m trying to stay motivated to make projects on the side to hopefully refine my programming even further, but not only do I don’t have any ideas for projects that don’t already exist, but I’m not fully convinced that it will be worth the time. Especially considering every other attempt that involved working and studying for many hours have blown up in my face so far.
