I graduated in May with my associates degree, and sadly after applying a bit nothing, not even a reply email. I am convinced I am just unprepared for this industry, I will admit I don't have a GitHub with 1 billion contributions, and a bunch of connections. but can I seriously get nothing. I can't afford the 25K needed for my bachelors. I am honestly considering put in my applications to target or whatever and giving up.

I don't even think I'll have time for any of this between a few min wage jobs

What exactly do you want to hear? Are you hoping someone on here is just gonna offer you a job because of this sob post and your winning personality? People have given you lots of advice and your only response has been "but if I'm working for minimum wage I won't have time, waaaaa". Like do you even have one minimum wage job yet? If not, what are you doing with your time right now? Stop imagining some future where you're working 3 jobs and start doing some shit to better your situation. Or don't, because capitalism fucks everyone over and someone has to lose big. If you're certain it's going to be you then it probably is.
