I feel so cooked bro. Im a cyber major with 0 background but proficiency in java and other languages. I could get a software development job today but its not what i want. I feel like im walking into a sales job market with an astrophysics degree

CS major, I just recently got a software engineering position with a decent Fortune 500 company. My projects and demonstration of my applicable skills is what got me the job. Our job market is fried but it’s broad. You’ll most likely find something you are interested in

Ive been trying to take that route into just the application and demonstration rather than showing where and what my education was. However, i feel like with the whole ai industry blowing up, my projects look less and less unique and impressive.
