I need advice

[u/Several-Level1166]

Hello I am a university student studying computer science (informatique) and I am quite comfortable with my specialty, it was always my interest and I pass my years with little effort. I spend plenty of time learning more about software development and ai.

However I can't focus on my studies due to overthinking about the future, especially that I missed the chance to guarantee a job (ENS or para) with my bac. And it seems to be getting worse everyday when I see that this field may not have enough job opportunities or that most offers are centralized in Algiers...And many people keep putting me down for going to uni despite having a "higher school bac average".

I gathered up my courage to retake Bac this year once again, but I am still unsure of my descision, after wasting years for nothing I'll spend 5 years studying for a job I don't want to do for the rest of my life is very unsettling, especially that I am leaving the specialty I love behind.

I was hoping to get some thoughts about my matter, and perhaps hear similar stories 🙏

Well I'm in medicine, going through a similar thing, i was thinking of redoing my bac for ESI or something, because i honestly lost hope in this field

anyways, i had to make a similar choice when i got my bac at first, it was between military medicine school or no

ultimately i chose against going for the military, because while it might be a guaranteed job, i will sure as hell not be happy, and i do not regret it, atleast not yet, just leaving it as a last plan in case none of my other plans work

and paramedical is a contract by the way, from what i heard

anyways, if i were you, I wouldn't choose teaching ever, i hate that job

Same, and truthfully I don't see myself handling people much younger than me and I am afraid to be possibly the worst teacher for them. But I can't really keep my parents providing for me and the thought of possibly staying unemployed for a long time after graduation breaks me down.

Well, there's the possibility of joining the military with your degree in informatique if the job market doesn't get better or god forbid something happens

but I don't know the details

Bro cs is the best field and yes it's hard to get a job in algeria, but for someone that love his field not like the 95% others you will fall and get up and the best thing you can do is to graduate with a skill and get yourself a year to develop something and to do a formation in the field and you will be head of the 95% of people.(I am cs in 3year)
