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.

if it helps, I was sending out custom CVs to companies for two years to the tune of 10+ a day before I got hired for my first "real" tech job.
after working here for years, I really realize how little I knew and how badly I came off.
