I'm in my last year of college studying Computer Science. I've been debating for the past year whether it's really worth it. Everyone I know is studying Computer Science, every guy I ask says they want to do something in the future with CS, it is so over saturated. I don't feel like it'll land me a good future. It's so over populated, I feel like majority of us working towards an IT future are gonna be sitting around waiting for jobs for our whole life. I want to venture out into different realms now, careers which I can actually commit to and not sit around waiting for an opportunity. However, i'm only 18 myself and I have no sort of experience regarding this stuff compared to the people on here. Do you think it'll be possible to still have a very successful career despite the billions of people in my field?
