Let me get this rant out nowbecause I'm fucking sad, jealous, and going insane at how much of a failure I am compared to my friends and how much of a fucking idiot I was going to UofT.
Already in my third year and I have nothing. No relevant work experience, shit side projects form my courses, nothing at all. All i have is my 3.6 GPA, which I've realized employers don't give a fuck about. I was so close to choosing Waterloo but decided to go for UofT because of the "prestige" and "academic rigor" and so i can graduate faster to find a better paying job. Well fuck all, that meant nothing in the real world. Now I'm just a failure with nothing for me. UofT and constant job rejections has sucked any goals I had and replaced it with the shit I am now.
I'm reading through Watelroo's resume critiques and even their first and second years are better than I am, and also probably most people here, they've got 1-2 internships with decent companies like IBM, Banks, and Government. The 3rd and 4th years are all with big companies already in cali. Meanwhile, I can't even find a shit dev job in toronto anywhere.
3 years ago, my friends and I left for school all the same. We had goals, good grades in high school, and we all didn't have that much coding experience. Now half of them are fucking working for facebook or google with grades even in the 60s and 70s, and I'm still stuck in the shithole i'm in with nothing but my 80s grades and so-called "prestige". I used to laugh at them in first year for going to a lower ranked uni, but they're probably fucking laughing at me all day because I can't even find a shit QA or dev job they could have found in first year, while they're making 9 grand a month in cali already
I wish I could just rewind these 3 years and have accepted Waterloo, but it's too late now. Gonna continue drinking and searching up all my friends on facebook every night to see how well they're doing.
