I feel lost as a CS student and I need honest advice
I need your help, guys.
I studied Computer Science for 3 years, and now I’m in my fourth year studying Data Science and Analysis. So in total, I’ve been a student for 4 years, and next year will be my fifth and final year before graduating with my master’s degree and looking for a job.
The problem is that during most of these years, I was focused only on passing exams and moving to the next year. I didn’t take learning seriously enough, and now I feel behind compared to where I should be.
Right now, I’m learning JavaScript and trying to start freelancing as a web developer. But honestly, I still feel like I don’t know enough. I barely know Python, and I don’t really have solid skills in Data Science or Analysis yet.
What makes it worse is hearing people constantly say that AI is replacing web development. It makes me question whether I’m even choosing the right path.
My current idea is to start with web development as a freelancer, but honestly, I don’t know if this is a smart plan or if I’m just trying to avoid reality
I’d really appreciate honest advice from people who were in a similar situation or already working in the field.
What path would you take if you were starting from my position today?
