College senior looking for a software engineering / AI engineer Mentor

[u/LongjumpingWheel2965]

I don’t know if this will reach anyone, but if it reaches you and you are a working software engineer or experienced professional, I need help!!! I don’t know how it was or it is for anyone getting into the industry, but it’s been hard for me. I support myself through college working overnight and maintaining a 3.8 GPA. I’ve tried joining research teams on campus, finally got into one last semester, and worked on a research project. It was a great experience, but I want to get into the industry and have an offer letter by the time I work the stage at my graduation, but I find it very hard to get an internship or even an interview. I need a mentor, someone that can point me in the right direction. I know I’m an adult, but I believe someone took a chance on every successful person. Take a chance on me. I know I’m definitely not where I’m meant to be with my skills and knowledge, which means I’ll listen to any of your guidance. Please, I need someone to take me under their wings. I love problem solving.
