About 16 years ago, some of us in Tech graduated and started our careers during one of the greatest financial collapses (2008/2009). Yes, the market will always have ups and downs, but you choose Tech for a reason. Hopefully, you have some love for this industry. You haven't started your career yet, but if I was in your shoes pinpoint an exciting area you want to go into and dive-in from the bottom. I think I started my career doing some XML/HTML formatting back in the day. The pay was meh, but it gave me so many eye-opening experiences about all the available areas, from design, content management, programming, project management, etc... Get work or freelance, do something that creates value, and start somewhere. The market will always go up and down, but the best thing that no one can take away from you is your experience, know-how, and the expertise you develop within yourself.
