I graduated with CS degree in 2019. I know so many CS grads who can't find programming jobs now. I work in IT and have plenty of job opportunities. I would definitely only stick with CS if you like computers and not because you want money. It's nearly impossible to find programming jobs these days.

CS != SWE btw SWE can be CompE, EE, IT, CS, heck even Math major

Same river different boat lol I’m in the boat where I enjoy my CS classes and learning shit. I think I’ve found my pace as a junior by tweaking my schedule as admittedly I am a slow learner. But the competition…I absolutely feel that. It’s y I blocked Reddit and LinkedIn on all of my tech. Again 70% of ppl are not like what u see online but the ppl getting internships are the ones been coding since middle school meanwhile I’ve been stumbling around figuring out what a for loop his in high school. It’s also y admittedly, I wanna get my degree and go do something else, maybe tech sales, design, or say f it and do something not tech related for a masters if I get desperate. In both of our cases, I’d say as long as we have plow ahead and try a whole lot more stuff than the usual path. The world used to be train tracks but it’s all ATVs now All the best

You should stop wasting time on editing for UA-cam and start focusing on your engineering degree at college

Yeah ! I totally feel you. I just graduated with my computer science degree and couldn't land a job so, here i am, I just finished my first semester of university .

goodluck wish u the best fr

unemployment final boss

This may just pass man. I decided that I hated coding after taking a gnarly operating systems class in my junior year, but now that I’m out of school I actually love it again and have way more patience for it. I think being stressed out with a grade held over your head can make you hate anything. Also, I managed to get hired as a junior SWE in 2023 and I was about as average as student as you can get. Probably had a lot of luck involved, but it’s doable man. The apocalyptic shit you see people saying on Reddit probably isn’t the best sample to base reality on.

How about Computer Engineer?

Very happy to see someone talk about hammers music, it means a lot to me.

Glad this is a "because I didn't like it" and not another "because CS is cooked" post. As a computer science student. I'm a ride or die, I'll pivot with a CS degree or get a second degree before I switch to something else.

"Saftey"? Perhaps "Safety"?

I used to want to study CS but I just wanted to create programs without all the extra nonsense and other broadness, so I just went with software engineering 😅😅

I did the opposite, I dropped engineering and switched to CS lmao

relatable af

imma be clear withu dawg, i was in a similar place mentally not too long ago and i tried to commit, so like im not hinting at anything, but i'd be lying if i said my life improved because i failed

I’m just in middle school, but I feel like my future will be like this too. Thank you for this video, it’s cool to see others that have a similar problem. I feel like sometimes I have to put on a different personality depending on who I’m talking to and I have to strategize an interesting topic or funny joke, and when there isn’t one, I avoid talking. I want to stop doing this because it’s starting to become more prevalent, but I don’t know how other than praying to God and trying to find a way through the Word. Thank you for this video, 🙏 I know that you said that words like these don’t really help and don’t give any worth, but I hope you find a way to get rid of these feelings of confusion and nothingness that you have been going through. I think uploading this and finding other people with the same problem is a perfect way to start.

Damn, it's like looking in a mirror, minus certain small details. I definitely get what you mean, especially regarding that feeling of futility regarding talking to people about it. I think we ended up dismissing our own opinions and relying on others to define us so much that we don't even know where to begin to start filling up the emptiness we have. What's helped me a little bit is moving out and living on my own, because it's forced me to confront that hollowness within. Even though I still don't have an answer, I at least feel like now I know where to start looking, and I hope you can find that kinda path too.

Hey man. Ima be fully honest, the things people say to help may not feel helpful, but know that we all care. This is the first time ive seen your content and ive already subbed and liked. By no means am i saying that ive been in your shoes or that these things will work for you, cus im not you, but i hope i can be of help in one way or another even if its just that im another soul in the big world that checked on you. Throughout my life ive always based who i am on what people told me i was, based on the validation and feedback id recieve. This also led to me disregarding any positive comments bc i felt like they were telling me what i wanted to hear. I spiraled really bad in middle school and was pulled for things i dont really wanna put here regarding my mental health, but what i found helped was trying to take the feedback/validation in the most positive way possible. Basically, even if its feedback telling you what you did "wrong", take it as "hey, you did great HOWEVER this is something you could IMPROVE". This mindset is by no means an easy thing to achieve, it took me several months to be able to look in a mirror and not trash myself and walk away feeling okay with who i am. None of us are perfect, and we all deserve validation- even the feelings and thoughts you have are valid, no matter how silly they may seem. Whether its crying over a broken pencil or panicking because of 1 social interaction, those feelings ARE valid. Whats important is learning to validate yourself so that you dont feel empty when others arent there to do it for you. Again, its not an easy task, but just like everything, it comes with time and dedication. I am truly sorry that you are feeling this way, mental health is no joke and it can really impact all parts of life. I may be a stranger on the internet, but im here for you. Im by no means a licensed therapist and if anything i struggle with social interactions a lot due to anxiety and autism as well as past experiences, but i will do whatever i can to offer support, validation, and hopefully insight/help. I believe in you man, you got this 👍 Edit: just read through the comments here. You truly have a great community here, and as long as you can find joy in this, I look forward to seeing all of the content and progress you make. Big thanks and applause to all those who commented here, everyone is amazing 🫶

God bless yall

Hey, I'll address the "attention seeking" part of content creation, because for the most part I think you're asking questions that don't have a generalized answer, which is a great way to self reflect btw and kudos to you, it's just that I don't think anyone on the internet is going to give you the answers you seek, but you probably know that already. I'd say something like "have you tried therapy?", but I also get how pretentious it can sound from a random person and I also get that I wouldn't be able to convince you that it's even an option even if I tried to when you potentially don't want to do it yourself, and if nobody in your close circle is talking about it with you. Sooo onto the whole youtube thing and feeling bad about yourself: it's like a modern disease, and I don't believe you're to blame for looking at statistics and being completely discouraged from low "numbers", I assure you that creators posting their work want their work to be seen and most of them either wouldn't be making anything at all, or they would make something entirely different if they didn't want their projects to be seen - trust me on that one. Editing for hours on end only for the video to do badly is discouraging - hating yourself over that shows deeper issues, because it's nothing to hold against oneself, we all want our work to be acknowledged in some kind of way - when we publicize it then we want it to be welcomed warmly, when we do something for somebody close to us we also want for it to be (to some extent) seen and appreciated, it's human nature. If you don't feel any joy from making and publishing videos then that's where you need to start to think about whether you shouldn't be doing something else instead - but as long as interactions and comments can give you the satisfaction and some amount of joy then that's an absolutely great start man, you have something to hold onto here already. Content can change, so can the amount of happiness we get from doing something: all of this isn't constant, it's dynamic: just like life itself. Personal life is a huge contributor to receiving positive emotions from hobbies (like content creation and gaming), but again, I'm not trying to take away your personal space, that's all reserved for you and your close ones. I wish you all of the best and if you need to talk I'm here, just reach out to me anytime (either comments here or links in my description). Just remember that I'm a complete rando and won't give real solutions: nobody on the internet will, and that's fine too, that privelage belongs mostly to you and maybe to people around you, if you decide to open up to them more

Man my friend when nobody else will love you the Bible says “for god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth on him should not perish but have everlasting life.” For those who believe we have a risen savior and the word of god sharper then a two edged sword, dividing both soul and spirit. Jesus is our needed companion and faith in him brings ultimate freedom. Looking for fulfillment anywhere within yourself, others or in the world around you is never going to fill the void in your life nor gift you life everlasting. It’s our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who bled profusely and died for us. Because we have all sinned. The Bible says the penalty for sin is death but the free gift of God is life everlasting. He calls everyone to him to look to him as savior. To look to him as king. I’m not asking you to trust Christians, pastors, or missionaries. I would ask you to trust Jesus. People’s thoughts about you matter very little in light of the creator and king. Have a blessed day.

damn, i could listen to u talk forever

To Real i feel the same

go on a vacation, talk to a loved one, touch grass, remember its okay to feel empty sometimes, be the master of ur own mind

bruh just get a therapist

Oof you've got this

ok 👍

no matter what you're going thru, Jesus loves you, he cares about you, he has a plan and a purpose for you, he died for you, and he did it so that you may have life, and have it to the full talk to God, and he will come to you, God does not despise a contrite and broken heart luv you man, and so does Jesus, take care <3

Well, I think you laid out all the puzzle pieces. You base your happiness and self worth on external things out of your control like validation of other people or your idea of success that is being rich, special and admired which is an idea of success many of us are given at a young age but it's superficial and unrealistic. It separates you from normal people and feeds your ego so it hurts when the realization hits. If you want fulfillment you have to be able to look at yourself and be proud of the person you are, not proud of things like validation or money but your virtues, character, discipline, passion, skills or knowledge. As soon as you place your well being on things out of your control life can start to feel hopeless and you will lack motivation. You'll only feel good when things happen your way, but that's not guaranteed at all.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 😁 Te amo , mano

habibi after 3pm tomorrow I will be free let us game into the night and discuss😘

like omg i relate so hard 😭 like it's hard to find fulfillment without feeling guilt at the same time, i'm in comp-sci too and i feel pressured to keep learning so my skills are still relevant (i graduated this year). i discussed this with my therapist and they told me it's better to keep hobbies and jobs separate, you don't have to like what you do for a job. I hope you can find enjoyment in your hobbies and find the excitement to pursue a career.

I like this

I don't who you are but this is a good one

good job on this one

I can't believe people are still going into the field when the CEO of Nvidia has said not to, smh

I realized in college that computer science was a hobby for me rather than something I'd earn my bread from

Nut allergies are the worst. My childhood was a nightmare with a family that had no idea what to do when it happened.

Your Discord link is dead

I wish I had never listened to my parents and dropped out instead. Kids, if your parents force you into college and you feel like you'd rather die, then pack your bags, move out, and even cut off content with your parents for a while. I clearly was not ready and hated the entire journey. Had a lot of more important issues (tons of undiagnosed health problems) I had to deal with. A waste of 4 years and money I will never get back. I regret finishing my useless degree every day. I literally would've been better off working at McDonalds in that same time to put it in perspective.

I'm in my last semester... it's too late for me

As a computer science major (was, i dropped out when I had only 1 semester of cs left to do), the amount editing in the video makes me dread. video editing is hard work

So here's my take as an old timer: This is bad advice. You have yet to see the consequences of your actions and you're telling people how great it is while you are still in the honeymoon phase. This could very well be the start of a pattern that leads absolutely nowhere. The greatest battle is to stay optimistic. The most fundamental set of techniques is just that. The heart is foolish, and we give it credit at our own peril. But not just our own, also the peril of all those who depend on us and benefit from us thriving. This can impact thousands of people we'll never meet, or more.

It is funny because at my university (when I was there, things have likely changed now) comp sci was the default fallback major for people dropping out of engineering, only for us to realize by the time we graduated that the comp sci students were getting way better paying jobs! Again, this was several years ago. I don't think the job opportunities for comp sci new grads are the same now. Seems like the job market has dried up and become oversaturated. Gone are the days of getting a 6 figure salary after taking a 12 week code camp. Now it seems companies will only hire you if you have 10 years experience using whatever is the latest JavaScript framework that only dropped last week.

I can say, as someone who chose to instead persevere and move forward within the same field, that what I ended up with is a degree, zero confidence in myself, and zero interest in ever wanting an IT job. It indeed is a good call to switch at times, just kind of a shame I learned about it way too late and I now need to make money for wherever I want to go next.

lol, I did the opposite major switch

Hey Manny! I too was a comp sci major at a pretty well known uni in a tech city and I dropped out to switch to heath/bio because you made me release that my passion for the body and helping others out weigh that off money and sitting at a desk all day. Im on a path to eventually become a physio or dentist which I can see myself doing rather than staring at code and opening VS code just for it to crash lol. I have always been stressed about picking a career considering my parents are immigrants and your videos have also helped me alot. I know you will over come this hurdle and become something great even if you drop out of eng and become a drama major lol. Stress is something every college student has and its completely normal to not every answer in front of you. You got one life and you have to enjoy it. Remember the person who created a billion dollar tech company or went on to be a nobel prize winner was no smarter than you are they were just determined enough to not stop. hmu if you need me lol :).

welp, i already have too many empty monsters on my desk and a couple sets of thigh highs no turning back now

He's not joking. Even if you're very, very, very good... full of passion, aptitude, and a knack and flair for it... you're competing with the likes of Linux Torvalds or John Carmack who's reputation proceeds them... everywhere. You basically have to become successful first, and by that time, you don't need a job, you've written your own check and paved your own way.
