I don't have a job in a third year of CS uni in an expensive and poor country. My parents are bordering poverty if they haven't already crossed it. Expenses are piling up and even though I have enough saved up to make it through the year even without anyone's help I can't help but compare myself to everyone else and doubt if people like me ever make it. I'm surrounded by people who have parents in the middle class if not in the top 20% in my country and I don't know anymore whether I'm an idiot even though I'm one of the best students in the uni or your socioeconomic background makes your skills negligible. So how do you make it? Guys I'm sure there are lots of you who have made it to some extent. All I need is to know that there's light at the end of the tunnel, that things will turn around. How did you make it?
