This year, i’m on my 8th (final) semester of uni and im dealing with working on my undergrad thesis (it’s about open source and how companies monetize free software). I dont know where im going after this. Back in 2023 i was in 12 months of grueling low paying internship with 4 hours of commute but at least that was something because i bought a lot of stuff from HDD, games, and shirt. Sadly it wasnt enough to cover for rent so i commuted 4 hours a day I hate being stuck in my parents house, and worse, because im busy with my thesis + preparing for quiz, i dont know how to make money or if it’s wise to get a job when i still have classes in my schedule. For the thesis itself, it’s due around 20th June and right now i have 20 pages. Im aiming to get 70-75 pages by then. I also have to see my advisor 10 times this semester. What can i do about my life? Give me some insights so i don’t hate myself too much for being so broke and caught up with everything else. All my interests are pretty much narrative gamedev and cyber sec, and it’s hard to make money with it.
It’s hard to make money in cyber security???
It’s definitely hard to break into it, it’s a specialty that requires experience, and no one seems willing to train. Tons of money around if you have 10-15 years under your belt, but you’ll starve before you find a junior position
