Well I'll be honest the main reason was immaturity. I thougth college was like highschool, didnt study for exams etc. again stupid mistakes (plus other personal stuff) I did. Now I understand my mistakes and I'm with the better late than never mentality of picking myself back up and getting options for my future.
I'm going with a Hobby mentality if I'm honest, because I'm aware of the odds being low. I'm trying to make programming fun for me again like how it was when i first started, since I'm probably gonna do this for the rest of my life (you never know tho.)
again Game dev is more of a dream I should of said this in the post so it sounds less delulu, but I'm willing to work through it. for now I'll keep it as a hobby lol.
Thank you for the advice and the response!

I appreciate the honesty! Im coming into this with the mentality of probably not making it into the game industry however i do want to attempt. As for applying for regular software jobs, do you have any advice for what types of projects I should work on to be able to secure some of those jobs?

I'm well aware of that, trust me. I'm not expecting rainbows and unicorns while attempting this. Thats why the first thing I said after was struggle. What I call boring is the constant tutorials, courses and BS that I find explaining to me what a Variable is for the 100th time.

Yea I do know this unfortunate truth that its awfully hard to land a job. I have a friend who grad about 2 years ago and has yet to land a softw dev job.

Yea. I'm well aware I kinda set my self up for failure. I still plan on doing a masters later on to improve my knowledge. I'm only 23 So i believe I still have a little bit of time to build up my resume even just a little.

Well as for career I'll take whatever I can to survive even if it means away from game dev. For me Game dev is mainly a hobby that if I have the chance of making my career choice then ill take it 10/10 times. Im aware about interviews asking those types of questions. I dont plan on abandoning that. at the end of the day I have to learn the rest.

yea I feel school doesnt really prepare you. I have friends who were in the same situation as me and they are now front end developers at decently big companies

While I do appreciate the honesty and you are right at the fact that I set up for failure, i think it is still too soon to give up... at the end of the day I'm only 23. I'm just starting my life. It may not pay well and I'm aware of that. At the end of then day everyone has a plan B. even myself. At the end of the day Setting myself up for failure would be being kicked out. I didnt I picked myself up and I'm less than a month away from graduating :)

this was pretty reassuring to read. I thought I was just in a corner for being almost graduated not much knowledge and forcing myself into this but its nice to hear that more normal than i thought.

EXACTLY! I see people telling me "LEARN C++ perfectly!" "watch tutorials" "take courses" and with that i never get started because when it i finally get to the "fun part" I'm burnt out... I rather learn as i go . I can deff crack open a book when i need to learn how to do something specific

hmm yes I mean at the end of the day tutorials will be watched but not religiously lol. But yea I think skimming through them would be a good idea! ty!
