If nobody will hire me, should I turn to crime to pursue a career in programming? I ask because if there's no legal entry-level jobs due to the oversaturation, I might have to go underground for it.

You took those performance reviews to heart, and aimed some of your school curriculum at addressing any areas where your performance was less than stellar, and kept notes, so now you have KPIs (Key Performance Indicators), both where you fell short in each internship,and a list of what you did to address your shortcomings

If you don’t have all of these things set up already… why the hell not?!?

I suspect that unless your criminal activity involves something other than computers, you will have a hard time finding work as a criminal, as well.

Can you simply make an efficient DIY red light therapy mask at home using a plastic mask and red LED diodes attached inside? How good is that, or does a medical mask have its specifications?

If I’m not willing to hire you for my legitimate business, I sure as heck will not be willing to hire you for my criminal enterprise.

You now have at least a small personal business network, and a network through your academics, within your CS department, which you can leverage to find your first post-graduation job

Have you considered military service?

What actor accepted a film expecting to go unnoticed, only to find himself at the forefront of a gigantic success that transformed his career?

Because you did not squander your internships, this also means that you have:

Minimally, this would mean an internship after your first, second, and third years, which is almost a years worth of job experience.

You asked for a formal performance review equivalent AFTER getting the letters of recommendation

How do people move on so quickly? I’m still sprung over someone I was dating and he found someone else so fast. I feel hurt because I’m still head over heels over him while he’s out enjoying his life with someone new
