Should I jump off a bridge?

Sadly computer science is a tough field these days. "computer people" aka IT and other computer related jobs are support people. We fall in the same category as kitchen staff, janitors, the guy that plows the parking lot every morning, etc... where do companies cut first? Usually support people.

Where you can strive though, is if you start your own business. Look at maybe getting into web hosting or web design for example. I'm seriously considering this myself as my current company is not very stable. The company revolves around getting IT contracts, and everybody is cutting down IT and cancelling their services so I don't expect the company I work for to be here very long. Sadly all the stuff I want to do is conflict of interest so it's a tough position to be in. If you have no job and have all the time in the world, do something with it!

Oh, and I've probably been trolled, but felt like posting this anyway as I may end up in a similar situation soon.
 
Yes. You absolutely should jump off your balcony. Record yourself jumping and have someone post it on the internet. You will get a lot of hits.

Man, I am such a loser. Moreover, I think I may end up on the street. My sister has a degree in math and civil engineering, she was a B+ student and she can't even find a job. Because of that I feel really anxious as Hell. Thankfully, my other sister is a doctor. I hope I end up earning a decent salary somehow.

Wait for your sister to design and/or construct a bridge, and then jump off of that one.
 
Go down to able body or labor ready or some temp labor place. Find out when they open and get there an hour early. If you're able bodied and young you have no excuse for not being able to find SOME kind of activity that will generate a modest yet livable trickle of income.

TL: DR stop being a lazy lovely human.
