For me, even graduating in 2022 with an MSc, 6 months is a short time to find a job
Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates

Sounds like you got a raw deal. Our industry has many highs and lows when it comes to jobs and work available.

2008 was a very difficult job market for sure. Even around 2017 when I graduated it was quite difficult from now. Entry level positions have evaporated in the last 6-7 years

My buddy graduated and took a gap year. That year happened to be the dot com crash. So he kept backpacking for another year then started looking for work. 😁
