I graduated in Computer Science but I just hate my career field and I'm totally frustrated. I am just a normal average guy. And I can't compete with the people in my field. A lot of them are like robots who just know everything or spend their entire day at the computer (not chatting, watching videos,,, but doing heavy stuff like creating some weird program or hacking)
I just hate it, because I can't compete with them for jobs. At the same time, I can get some computer data entry or call center customer service job... but I feel horrible. Its like all the waste of energy for such a tough major to end up in a job that any High School graduate can do. Its depressing. And I can't stand the pressure around me. Everybody is like .. ohhhh Computer Science! you are going to make big money. But I won't get big money if I get a regular job. And for the big paying jobs I can't compete with those people. I am frustrated. I feel like going to somewhere no one knows me and do whatever I want.

and get a low paying job and not care for what my friends or relatives say.. since I would be in a place where no one knows me.
I wouldn't tell anyone that I studied in CS to avoid that pressure coming back.
What advice do you give me. I am just very frustrated. Thank you.

Computer Science isn't a tough major. I know people with this degree who still can't set up Outlook Express, they are MSN mail dummies.
I make money with computers but have no degree or job, I sit at home and do my own marketing, affiliate work etc.
Life is long and you have time, it takes more than a silly degree to succede.
Don't be discouraged, just keep your options open and never stop learning.
In the end you have to do what you like. why not take career aptitude tests like this one http://www.job--listings.info/free-aptitude-test.htm and if you are lucky at the end they might even offer you a job, in any case they'll tell you what suits your own personality, based on the test you took.
there might be a few more tests here http://www.job--listings.info/
hope I helped, cheers

I started with this major when I went back to college some 15 years ago. After a year, I realized that I had no real aptitude for it so I switched to something else. As for what to do, I would suggest not pursuing this field. It's pretty unstable right now since many jobs are being outsourced to India. Is there something you like to do and feel confident that you're good at even if it doesn't pay as well? In my opinion, it's better to be in a lower paying job you enjoy and are good at rather than a high paying job you're not good at and don't enjoy. You will last a lot longer in your field if you find something you like. You will soon wash out of a job if you don't.

I'm making good profit with a binary option signal software called "autobinary signal". It's great!!
Check here for more information http://trading-secret.keysolve.net
A binary option is a contract between two parties in which one party (the buyer) pays the other party (the seller) and in return the seller will pay the buyer a fixed amount of money (or some other asset) if a specified event happens. The event can be anything, but with financial products it is usually based on the price of some security or index at some point in time in the future.
