Friends keep telling me I should stfu and stop complaining but I’m genuinely depressed and looking for constructive feedback. I failed out of my universities CS program and ended up doing philosophy with a double minor in math and stats. It’s my fault. I got cocky. My university is extremely cut throat when it comes to the CS program so even if I wouldn’t have gotten in with really pushing myself, I would not be complaining right now. I failed intro to CS twice and passed on the 3rd try with a 52. Switched to philosophy after taking being put on suspension. Recovered my GPA (a bit) and finished university last year. Even though I shat the bed with university, I did a lot of hackathons, audited courses because of pure interest (through MIT open courseware), and getting internships. I ended up joining Shopify as a fullstack. But now, I really want to go back to school and learn things the traditional way because it feels too overwhelming. I can’t work in the states because of tn visa regulations. My gpa is pathetic because of the failed courses in early years. I really don’t have the patience to start a second degree at a third tier college/university because it’s pointless to do so. I want to get into one of those online masters programs but let’s be honest, with a pathetic 2.44 cgpa there is no way any masters program is gonna let me in. Seeking advice on what to do at this point
