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.

Have you tried applying to marketing agencies? They typically have a need for general web/software type work.

I have not really tried market agencies, I haven’t seen them on job sites as much. Maybe cause I’m looking at remote

I’d recommend taking another pass at marketing agencies. Of the 4 I worked for, 2 were fully remote, and 1 was hybrid.

If you’re web savvy, you’ll likely be building and maintaining WordPress sites. Other responsibilities might be working on integrations to help CRM (Customer Realationship Management) software connect with other platforms. There could be other stuff to do, but my time in agencies was mostly stuff like that.

I have actually maintained a linux server for years, to run my websites, and various things in docker however I kinda see it as undocumented experience given I kinda just have done this silently over the years

All things considered I doubt I will have time for that, I need a few min wage jobs just to live, do you really think I have time go do unpaid internships
