Have you worked in industry at all? or just classes? The experience of programming for work is very different.

Regardless— there’s a lot of good work that doesn’t involve programming that is easy to get into with a CS degree. Design, Management, Security, DevOps, IT, and many many more.

Identify which parts of the field you really enjoy and are good at and go from there. I also recommend cal newports talks / book “so good they can’t ignore you” for anyone making early career decisions
