Depressed

I am in 2nd year in college pursuing computer science..so far most of the time i do competitive programming and sometimes web development..i am working hard but because of the never ending depressing posts on LinkedIn and blind about layoffs and recession plus no hiring in big tech..i feel that all my hard work will be not worth it in future..also the people have made this wonderful field a joke by this standup comedians who joke about engineers every time.........i really want to contribute to this society and earn great amount of money as well but the hope is decreasing day by day..

What should I do😔😢?

You are just in 2nd yr. All this recession and layoffs will be long gone by the time you graduate. Just focus on preparing well for interviews and gain some internship experience. Try for some open source experience as well. Don't worry.

There is no dearth of jobs for PPL who excel at what they do.

Really? because my freaking relatives say that in this field the input is 1 and output is 0.i mean i don't accept that but in this country as there is so much saturation of engineers, even those engineers who make great money and have good job are not that much respected as they should.

Skills you learn won't go waste anytime.Maybe try building apps for problems around you. Only thing we can do is try, outcome we should not expect.

You have a long way to go, don't worry about all this uncertainty. Keep building, keep learning, you will end up in good places eventually.

Online media focused more on doom and gloom. It's not like that everywhere. Granted economy is down, it will eventually bounce back up. Also I know several folks comfortably making 70L+ in this economy. It's not as bad as you see on these sites.

Really!!! You are depressed at your second year of college??? You are too late bro, I was depressed when I joined my kinder garden itself.
Better drop out of your college and start a tea shop or pano puri stall near some office or college. 🤑💰
