I've spent the last year job searching and I've been made to feel like my degree isn't worth the paper it's printed on. I've applied to hundreds of openings that claim to be entry level, only to get the same form letter back telling me they've decided to go with a more qualified applicant. Haven't even landed a single interview. Feels like I can't get experience because I don't have experience.

I won't tell you not to pursue your passion, I got my degree in CS because I sincerely enjoy programming. But do be aware that the job market is hell right now, and it may only get worse.

Other comments are right that AI shouldn't be replacing programmers, but they aren't really answering the question of whether you can get a job. It's not that AI will completely replace all programmers, but employers do seem to think they don't need entry-level roles anymore, and the supply of fresh grads outpaces the demand of job openings. If all you have is a degree and nothing else, you'll have a very hard time getting a foot in the door.

My best advice I can offer is to get at least one internship under your belt before you graduate. Most internship positions explicitly say they're only for current students, so you have a limited time to get something you can put on your resume. I feel like that was my mistake and now it's too late for me.
