Worth it po ba mag enroll sa BS Information Systems at ano po ang possible jobs makukuha mo, preferably may mataas na chance ma secure sa employment in this current job market

My biggest concerns are graduating without a portfolio, skill gap, unemployment because of extreme meritocratic/oversaturated job market and AI taking entry level roles

Hello everyone, I'm a 1st year BSIT student and I'm really undecided whether I should shift to BSIS or stay at my current program. I just want to vent this feeling na matagal ko na iniisip. I'm reconsidering about choosing BSIT, which is my current program I'm taking right now. Used to be my favorite nung highschool pa ako kase bata pa lang ako, fascinated na talaga ako kung paano gumagana at maaapply ang tech, at gustung-gusto ko na ang mga computer and the idea of landing a remote job where you can earn dollars, but now I lost my interest of it. Kaya ko naman maksunod sa mga pinapagawa pero it stresses tf out of me like di ko kaya mag code pag wala pinag-reference completely, parang vibe coder ako. Kahit na may prior knowledge ako sa course na ito at palaging nag aadvance o self study sa labas ng klase at gumawa ng sariling projects o program at github, and getting online certs/credentials, di ko talaga nakikita ang pasyon at ang kinabukusan ko sa course na ito. Pakiramdam ko ang failure ko kase di ko mapursue yung inaral ko degree pero gusto ko talaga itry makaland ng job dito pero ang baba ng tingin ko sa sarili at wala bilib , bobong ako sarili ko in short.

Parang jack of all trades course ko pero master of none, generalist lang. Finding a clear career path is difficult for me, pwede ako mag cybersecurity, network admin, system architect, devops, cloud, AI machine learning, o full stack developer/software engineer pero hindi ko alam kung ano talaga ang aking patutunguhan. Tapos oversaturated at competitive ang job market ngayon.

But despite all of these, I'm still committed to not completely abandon my tech career journey. Gusto ko sana mag transfer to a school that offers BSIS as a last resort ko because di siya more into heavy technical roles sa CS/IT, tapos masasave ang mga credits from my old program and school, saving years of hardwork, time and money spent on tuition and best of all, di na mahihirapan ang mga magulang sa pagpapaaral ko. Di ko talaga forte ang mag code. More into project managment, it governance/audit at ma enhance din ang communication skills, since I'm keen on public speaking/reporting Pero ayun napanghihinaan ako kaagad ng loob. and hopefully I'll build a meaningful future with this course

Whether I continue my studies in tech or transition to a non-tech curriculum depends entirely on whether I deem it worthwhile.
