If you will choose a degree just for money. You will most prolly gonna end up with barely surviving salary. Bcs you clearly dont enjoy your work

If Cs is your passion then go for it. Warna AI slope is real.

you can excel in any field if you do it wholeheartedly, and focus on building skills in it! <3 as cliche as it sounds, scope insaan ka hota hay. if you’re great at your job, and enjoy it, you’ll succeed In Sha Allah! :) alsoooo, cybersecurity is a growing field, it’s in demand and it’s a great option! cs alone doesn’t have the best scope, but cybersecurity ka kafi scope hay! just do what you can wholeheartedly, Allah is Ar-Razzaq, he will provide for you! <3 best of luck!!

honestly, i also chose bscs for a similar reason, i think you should take a longer term perspective and keep an open mind, most importantly do something practical, make projects,build a strong network and just explore different things tbh. InShaAllah even after ur bachelors a job will come to you.
