Am I the only one who feels this way??
I’m a CSE student, and for the last 3 years I’ve been studying, coding, stressing, and basically smashing my head every single day. I took offline classes, watched tons of videos, bought courses, built projects, kept applying to jobs non-stop. I’ve been trying so hard, like every damn day. But still I don’t get good opportunities. Nothing that pays well. Nothing that makes me feel my hard work means anything. And now this whole AI wave is here, and fine, I get it… the world changes. But damn, sometimes it feels like everything is moving too fast while I’m stuck. And I ask myself: why am I doing all this? I just want to be financially stable. I want a normal good life. I want to work, earn, try new food, chill with friends, live a little. That’s it. Then I go online and see people doing the most useless stuff. Zero effort. Zero skill. And they get millions of likes. They get sponsors. They make crores. They have fun AND earn money at the same time. And here I am, killing myself with hard work… for what?
