I agree, I struggled greatly through my computer science degree (QLD - Aus) and graduated completely lost with no clue if I was even capable of working in IT or what path to start on.

My wife is a radiographer and had mandatory hospital work throughout her entire degree, I think something similar would’ve done wonders for my confidence.

Ended up securing a graduate position in government and the whole ordeal was much easier than my brain told me it would’ve been.

They do? It’s called co-op.
