I (21F) am going to graduate college in May 2025. I am a computer science major and I absolutely hate it. I don’t want to write another line of code ever again. My advisor is really pushing me to stay in the field (I have a 4.0 GPA so he thinks I could get a really good job) but I have 0 passion for this field, and I think that becomes quite obvious to recruiters when they see I have no personal projects, certifications, or internships, so I’m really worried I won’t be able to get hired. I was a college athlete as well, and the only thing I really enjoy is training/competing. I have a lot of goals I want to accomplish in my sport, but I hear so many stories about how hard it is to train with a full time job. I’m used to working out 20-25 hours per week and I cannot imagine my life without it. I don’t want to have to give up the thing I enjoy for a job that makes me miserable. I have thought about going back to school to get a different degree in a field I find more interesting (microbiology or nutrition), but I have no way to pay for this, and I’m honestly super burnt out of school. I don’t know where I want to move after college and I’m scared to move away to a new city where I don’t know anything or anyone. I feel like I’m quickly running out of time to figure all this shit out, and it’s really stressing me out, plus all the stress of academically challenging final 2 semesters. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
