Telling it like it is doesn’t mean being insensitive. You can be supportive without making someone feel worse. And what type of reality do you want people to accept? That there’s no chance of being hired even if you work hard? Fyi, I’m in my last semester of my Bachelor’s in Com

1. If you have internships you are qualified. Look at University of Waterloo where they do six 4-month long fully paid internships over the course of their 5-year degree.
2. Supply and demand. If you're going to be paid millions of dollars a year like you claim, then you have to be delivering more than that in value to some company or to the world, or it's not a sustainable job. So let's say that your claim is correct that anyone who works hard enough can make millions of dollars a year in this field is true. then it would mean that there is a guaranteed path where people who work hard can produce that much value.
so let's say that you're making $5 million a year. which is $96,000 a week. which is $13,000 a day assuming you work 7 days a week, which I'm assuming you would given your argument.
I can imagine a world where put someone can produce $13,000 a day but if that was guaranteed from strictly hard work then there's likely a massive hiring demand and lack of supply.
if I'm a company and I'm paying someone $13,000 a day for purely hard work then I need to find a way to reduce that.
maybe I invest a million dollars into building software that makes this job unnecessary. maybe I come up with a training program so that there can be more of these people and they can reduce the job to $10,000 a day and it was worth it because of all the savings.
but like there are no jobs that pay $5 million a year strictly with hard work and nothing else because that's not how an efficient market would work.
