POO level saturated
I dont want you to feel bad about yourself, but if you're studying comp sci in the west and are planning to work for someone else - you're in for a big surprise. 80% of the work is CRUDs, that Indians and Filipinos are happy to do for $500/month. Comonly employed by banks, oracles and other it shops. Can you compete with that? If not, your only choice are real software companies - Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, Uber, etc.. but the competition is FIERCE. And even if you do get in, you have to keep running faster and faster, an average SDE lasts in Amazon only 2 years.
Moral of the story - if you're studying Comp Sci, you better be working for yourself, and employing the 3rd world, not competing with millions of Pajeets and homegrown Tommies, Chans, Ranjeets and Sergeis.

I thought those nerds were suppose to automate the world by now. The amount of times I've heard "psshh I could automate X job if I wanted" is astounding. You shoulda seen the thread on /g/ yesterday, trying to trade stocks. Trying not to trade too much because those $7 commissions were too hard their margins.

What about the networking side?

IT admin stuff? $20/h and wouldnt exist soon enough because less
If you mean networking - as in supporting the internet backbones and gateways @ telecoms, yeah there is still money in that. Very very competitive.
Developing Cisco routers themselves pays well, but they've exhausted themselves, there is nowhere else to push hardware routers.
Again, if you're in comp sci - don't look for employment (or not for long, just enough to make some starting capital). Work for yourself, build products and sell them. E.g. one of the best (least lag, small memory footprint, no conflicts) screen recording software is built by just a few guys. AmzTracker and Splitly for amazon sellers are built by one guy, but it rakes 10k/month in subscription fees. Thats the kind of goldmine you need to create for yourself instead of warming up chairs at soon to be outsourced IT departments at Big Corp Failures.
i went to a compsci job fair, they threw peanuts at me!

Nothing that the deskilled compsci graduates of today could do anyway. Go program hentai flash games from your Mom's basement.

Yeah, so saturated they're still importing Pajeets and russians.
You must have work experience prior to graduating or it will be very difficult to land a job, but once you get experience, lots of opportunities. Chicken and egg scenario - get internships, work for free.
