@coolboymew @vriska Our campus is partnered with a job search site called Handshake which is what I'm using right now.

@coolboymew @vriska I'm in my last semester of college. I was unable to get an internship due to the COVID shitshow. It's straight to the workforce for me. Luckily, my brother is in the same field as I am and can easily help me get a job.

@coolboymew @vriska That's pretty difficult for an autistic person like me, but I'm trying my best.

@coolboymew @vriska It's really hard. I also didn't have time to work on programming projects in my free time due to school and my part-time job. I haven't finished a hobby project since high school and those projects were shitty clones of old Atari games.

@PhenomX6 @vriska @coolboymew Yeah. Throughout my college career, I realized that college is bullshit and I would encourage anyone to try to find a different path if they can. I only went because my grandparents have invested enough over the decades to pay for our tuitions. I don't know how it would've went if I had to pay for college myself, especially since I didn't have a job back in high school (I was the kid who sold food when the teachers weren't looking, but that wasn't enough).

I wish gifted high schools were more common here. It would at least be a better alternative to college for those who are "gifted", but there seems to be a lot of controversy around them because of their exclusive nature.
