When are you autists going to realize you're unemployed because you're bad at programming, not because your choice of major?
I mean hell, pretty much my entire friend group is in the same position as me, which means my scenario is pretty typical. So what makes /g/ say CS is shit and gets no job offers?
I have three ideas:
1) you are all extremely unsociable autists who can't work with other people
2) you wanted to do CS "b-be cuz I want ta make da vidya gaemz" and then dropped out because you realize you're shit at math and a lot of any CS program worth its salt is math
3) you're just lazy and assumed jobs would fall on your plate instead of applying to them

I think this is #1 right here, nobody wants to work with cunts, even if they are great programmers, they rather work with an average programmer who can stay emotionally balanced, that can communicate and work as a team, rather than some sperg who only does great things when he gets chicken tendies and GBP on the regular. This is my experience as an engineer in the manufacturing industry at least, My designs work and are nothing special (JustWerks), but I just treat people well and do my job, instead of sperging out in the conference room like TOO MANY people do.

Truth
I got my first programming job during my second year of uni and the salary was better than the average of my socialist Scandinavian shithole. Now I'm at my second job, making even more. I've applied three times and got three job offers. How can someone not be employed at a time like this?
Tips for new CS students:
- Math is an essential part of your degree, don't fail that shit.
- Once you've mastered a couple languages from different categories (procedural, object-oriented, functional), you'll take up new languages in a matter of weeks.
- If you want a job outside academia: shower daily, wear normal clothes (jeans and t-shirt are perfectly fine), learn some basic social skills
- JavaScript is shit but it'll get you hired anywhere in the world right now

I think it's 1) as well, I've met these people:
They're not bad at programming, but their social skills unable them to deliver a value to the business.
