Taking this too seriously for a shitpost community but the people you meet while getting a degree will get you a job (at least in CS if you graduated pre-2020)
At least half of the jobs I’ve had after graduating were referrals and I’ve given plenty of referrals back to people I know
I didn’t make any friends in college (health issues+ I was a little older), but I did my work and asked questions. Apparently that was enough for my main professor to bend over backwards for me. He basically hand delivered two internships to me along with a personal project for credit.
Even if you don’t know many people, gaining opportunities really still comes down to who you know and being decent to them.

CS job market was pretty bad before 2020, it was there along with non-health bio with poor job prospects.
