Nope. You could get the best grades imaginable and you'd still be unemployable if you have no social skills.

this pretty much. every major requires you to be able to sell your ideas. if you can't you end up as one of those that graduates with a good education but ends up working in restaurants 5 years later.

So am I really fucked? I love literature but I picked CS to avoid talking in public but it all seems pointless now

You've wasted your time if you don't do anything about your social skills. It doesn't matter what you major in, you need to be able to talk to and get along with people. STEM majors who lack social skills are a diamond dozen, the ones who can talk to people are the ones who go right to the top.

Engineering graduate here. 95% of us can socialize well enough with each other to get work done. Unless OP is a full-on Milton who can't even respond to a "Good morning" then he'll be alright. The 5% who can socialize are usually too stupid to make it as a real designer and end up becoming poorly paid shills working on commission.

My brother's an engineering student and he happens to be quite extroverted. He's had recruiters and hiring managers comment on how rare people like him are.

Don't know anyone but psychopaths that don't have one form or another of social angst. Speaking in public is a skill, training and knowledge will help.

College is designed to serve two groups of customers: those who want to work in a field that requires a degree, and those who just like learning stuff for its own sake.

If you fall in either group, go. If you don't, it has nothing to offer you.
