Okay so… I just entered my final year and ngl I’m lowkey panicking. I wasted my last 3 years doing basically nothing. I don’t know programming properly, never built a single real-world project, and now placements are around the corner.

Like fr, is there still any chance for me to pick up a skill, actually build stuff, and somehow get job-ready before it’s too late? Or should I just accept my fate lol.

Also random question (pls don’t roast me): is there even a platform where you can:

  • buy projects (so I can at least see how things work)
  • get mentorship/teaching from people who know their stuff
  • and later maybe even sell my own projects when I get better

Basically like a one-stop place to learn + build + get guidance. Does that even exist or am I just daydreaming here?

Any advice would be a lifesaver 🙏—

    Assuming it’s programming because why else would OP randomly say they dont know it…

    Which is terrible because that’s a practical skill you can’t really fake and you need the foundational knowledge from school.

    OP is gonna need to look at something like HR or office drone where a general degree is “good enough”.

    Not the end of the world, they just coasted thru a degree for a very competitive field. So now they need to pivot. Even people who paid attention and know their shit can’t get a job programming these days anyways
