Hang in there. Things will get better.

I know a lot of people who feel the same way. In computer science, you can make your own path to a job:

1. Do interesting projects in open source 2. Using (1), apply for internships - offer to work unpaid 3. Using (2), get relevant experience on your resume 4. Apply for jobs - there are interesting startups that look more at skill than degrees.

These steps have nothing to do with your degree at all. You are quite lucky to be in CS where the skills matter more than the degree - make use of it!

Okay a brief more about me: 1)Missed out on gsoc by a little bit .. My idea discussion thread https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/archesproject/Ys4ejT...

2)After that kept on looking for open source projects ... found some to do as well ... but could not sustain it.One of the major problems is that i like to interact and discuss things and when that doesn't happen,i get disconnected!!I belong to a local engineering college in delhi and it becomes hard to find people who discuss stuff about opensource and other things.
