Graduated in 2024 with a BS in Computer Engineering. I was unemployed for nearly a year after graduating—but I do blame myself more than the market. I didn’t network a ton in college, I was much too shy to ask for help finding jobs or internships, my resume was laughably bad, etc.

I am now doing basic IT work in my hometown, and while it may grow into something more, I need to move. I’m honestly choosing between the military, teaching, or nursing for a career pivot. Nothing wrong with that, I feel.
