I'm a rising senior looking for FTOs. I have like 1 internship, but it's pretty much a joke since the founders weren't techy, barely knew what they were doing, and only paid me by commission.

My parents are relatively high at their companies, and were going to pull a few strings to get me a data analysis or entry-level IT role if nothing else worked out. I always kept that on my mind as a bail-out option. But they recently informed me they now weren't sure if they'd even be hiring much next season due to Trump and budget cuts.

So it looks like I might actually be fucked. When I tried talking to my parents about it, they tried to reassure me, like "dw anon, you WILL get a job, we'll reach out to our contacts at other companies", and all that copium. But remember, they tried to do the same with internships.

Should also mention that they're both huge Trumptards, which could pose serious issues if I can't find anything and am forced to spend my early 20s in some boring ass suburb. I asked them if they regretted voting for Trump this past election. Nope. Not one regret.

Between this, and being an adult living in his mom's house in an unwalkable suburb turning me into a YIMBY, I can't believe I'm actually turning into a libtard
