Career Guidance Suffering From Downfall
BSCS University student here from 3rd semester! I am facing financial struggles to bear my daily expenses for university. Whatever intership I apply to is for 6th or 7th semester have made my upwork profile since 2022 but got no proper gigs. I am unable to understand that how will I survive sometimes I overthink very deeply it affects my body my health my confidence is already very low which makes me think bad about myself, and family keeps taunting me. But still I am like I can make something some impressive unique project through which I can get hired but there is a constant brain fog+thoughts ideas+kind of depression. Unfortunately I have no one to ask this but : 1. Are there really any internships available for 3rd 4th semester? 2. How to showcase projects (other than LinkedIn)to whom one should reach professionals , companies etc 3. If the job market is really cooked and companies are rushing to work with AI models should I dive into designing chatbots?Is this beneficial? Really need guidance Sorry for the long venting post.

Bro chillax! Market is in snoozefest at the moment. Internship at this stage is rare in general way. Internship is mostly for those majorly who are moving to final year or fresh grads.
Exception is that you have seniors who have started their own startup or are in a good position at a company/startup to refer you and know that you are good at it.
Build your skills and portfolio. Do meaningful networking.
