I got my admission decisions back today for reapplication and no faculty accepted and I take full responsibility for it. I was in comp sci-literally a shoe-in industry for a job and a good start on a work career and I blew it.
Im a shit student it seems.
Im 9K in debt and have nothing to show for it essentially except a bunch of classes on a transcript. Im grateful I only have 9K instead of 30K like many other kids so I'll take a little victory where I can get them. I could theoretically apply to the local university but I dont think they will take me after seeing my transcript even though I might technically have a 2.2 instead of a 2.0 which is technically enough.
I have to take a year off no matter what so thats that. This is a really hard time and Im unemployed with shitty work experience and my parents havent found out and would probably kick me out if they did and I would be homeless-which is not good for anybody-even though it is what I deserve. Literally worst case scenario is playing out right before my eyes..
I never thought it would come to this.
To those who have either been through something similar or have faced great challenge in life- what would you suggest to turn this ship around...
I could reapply potentially to trades save up and get out and come back to a bachelor's later...
I could just leave and learn coding on my own and try to get work via bootcamps and self education and through a solid portfolio and try to be a self taught hire (probably super difficult)....
I could just go totally left field into business or sales- I am a fairly good looking guy with decent people skills though not exceptional....
I could honestly go full blogger/youtuber/twitch streamer at this point honestly. My entire life is up in the air and holy shit do I feel the world on my back. I have God to keep me going at this point and an inner perseverance that tells me to keep fighting till the bitter end.
