Studied Human Language Technology but got not work experience at 30
Hey I'm looking for some advice on this. TLDR is I got a bachelor's degree in a small country in Europe during covid. Had a terrible experience at Uni because I had to work shifts while studying and althouhg I was doing my best, some times I had to work nights and miss in-person classes which I would then review online, but let's just say some teachers didn't take too kindly to it.
I chose this career cause I wanted to do something with programming and I was interested in linguistics so it seemed like a no-brainer. Plus I had failed a year in IT so I felt like I needed something in between with the available time I had with working.
I graduated during covid. There was only one company that had positions for people with degrees in Human Language Technology. I did a very short internship (due to covid again) with them. But then after I graduated I reached out to them a couple of times with no response.
Now I'm 30 and I am wondering how to get started into this career as I would like to try out (if it is not to late) to do something with what I learned. But I have been doing admin jobs so far and basically I just down know where to start. I welcome any and all advise, even if it is as rough as "yeah dude just give up" xd
