You have probably one of the greatest opportunities right now in order to make money and build an extremely valuable skill using the stuff that you are actively learning in school. It would be so easy for you to take the basic skills and things that you're learning in school and apply them in order to make some extra cash while you're in college. So then by the time you leave college, you have a resume full of experience and things that you've done and actual projects that you've completed for clients. And who the hell knows? Maybe one of those clients will hire you full-time and you have an easy step like right out of the gate from college. I can promise you that if you take your four years in college and you were to create and organic content, doing jobs for clients, and just talking about the process of being a software engineer and like making money as one in college, at the end of those four years, dude, promise you, you'll have no problems having opportunities, having a job or having somewhere to work. Don't overthink this. This is not a complicated thing. Just simply apply yourself. Pick one area that you want to work in and start applying yourself, pick one area that you want to work in and start applying for gigs, applying for jobs. Start small, grow bigger and by the end of the four years, dude, no worries.
