Thanks. I know I'm not more qualified than the 10,000 other grads. I would be surprised if I was in the top half. I don't have a year of savings so I guess I'm done, and I know I'm not capable of running a company. I wish I never wanted to code in the first place.

I'm sorry for speaking so bluntly on here and I realize I didn't say this the most friendly way. At the end of the day, it is the way it is. On the plus side, if you don't give up you will get a job, it might just take a super long time, and if you love coding that's what you should do.
