that's it for me.
Back in 2022 i started a CS degree in hope to find a good job and get my family out of our financial struggles. I graduated in August this year, with general degree,(skipped an academic year). Now here I am without a job. Applied to several hundred job offers and only got 2 interviews & in both I was interviewed by an AI. Idk what they are expecting, i have plenty of real world experience for an entry level job, I have built & deployed in-production software before AI.
And the other thing is AI. I'm writing this post at 11pm, right after a full work day (freelance) using AI tools, I am tired of talking to AI & reading it's output all day. I'm tired of telling it what not to do. im tired of it pretending me as a dumb fk.
When I was in university I did some labor jobs to earn some money, the work was hard but at the end of the day it felt good. Building software by hand used to feel the same, but things are completely opposite now. I feel miserable & don't want to work tomorrow.
I know AI is here to stay & the this is the new normal. Today I understood that, this new normal is not for me. Im gonna leave the industry & find a blue collar job. Wish me luck. (English is my second language, I'm not very good at it, but i typed this rant by hand, so kindly ignore grammar mistakes)
