I feel overwhelmed by the tech industry right now

I started off my interest in tech through web development and looking forward to being a fullstack web developer however too oversaturated. started learning languages to be software engineering focused and but its also oversaturated. however i started developing an interest in HCI and also maybe computer vision

as a cc transfer i did so many ecs and work with personal projcts and student orgs. 3.78 gpa and was rejected from 8 out of the 10 schools i applied to. including all schools with good undergrad programs in HCI and computer vision

i couldnt land a single internship. and ngl i feel like im loosing my spark for coding bcs every single field im interested is too niche or too oversaturated. and every single workshop i attend feels like an AI ad. i know AI is a great tool but jesus christ why is every wrkshop like "AI knows everything about me and my family and thats why I love it! AI is the future! give AI all your information and checkout my new integrated b2b cb2ncbcb start up"

my god.

idk if i should keep pushing as a current CS major interested in hci to get my masters in HCI.

or just move on to another major cuz idk if this is a good for for me anymore. idrc about the money, i do like computer science but ive lost hope over the past few months.

Incoming UCF transfer, split between CS and Digital Media web design track

I've done my first two years in CS in CC but honestly I am mostly interested in UX design and would like to eventually get my masters in Human Computer Interaction. I'm unsure whether a general CS major an UCF will help me here. However I've heard the Digital Media major is at the downtown campus. I do want to be heavily involved on campus not just a commuter student so what should I do.
