Choose the lazy route. I am good with learning languages so I went with a diploma in foreign language education. I can’t find a job but eh, even people with doctoral degrees can’t find one in this hellhole. I am pretty good with computers too but it’s meaningless without a certification and there’s no chance am gonna waste 6 month of my life learning basic office tools i already know / can automate programmatically. Sorry, needed to vent.
Tbf in most IT companies nobody cares about certs that are not on some form mandatory. A company caring about certs might be a negative signal to their ability to hire effectively for IT roles
Which i was living where you guys live but I am stuck in a third world hellhole.
I mean, it’s so shit that despite a regular monthly paycheck being around 150$ (less than half of India average paycheck ) we have very little foreign companies outsourcing to here.
Was talking about this with a friend last night who struggled through their whole degree thinking they were being academically challenged when really they should have been asking for support with their mental health. We never tell students how hard it should be to learn the next thing and when something has actually gone wrong.
