I graduated in May with my associates degree, and sadly after applying a bit nothing, not even a reply email. I am convinced I am just unprepared for this industry, I will admit I don't have a GitHub with 1 billion contributions, and a bunch of connections. but can I seriously get nothing. I can't afford the 25K needed for my bachelors. I am honestly considering put in my applications to target or whatever and giving up.

I feel others covered what's needed, but just wanted to say don't give up. Yes, you may have to do some odd or non ideal jobs, but just don't lose your passion. I know from personal experience.

OP could try tech support. I know that sucks, but at least they'll get their foot in the door.
