Welcome to Gaia! ::

I perfectly understand what you say. I've found that taking a semester off from college and finding a job can help lessen the impact of this crisis quite a bit. Not only you already know how to move around and have already some contacts that can help you get a job more easily, but you also learn the practical skills you'll need to start your professional career.

Just to let you know, right now I'm working as a networking engineer at a teacher's company, and it's totally different from what I used to do at school. In college, they teach you how to write programs, how to code stuff, how to use routers, switches and how the phone works, but they never teach you, for example, how to use a hammer drill, how to properly measure a cable length, or how to build a cabling installation that meets the structured wiring standards.

My best advice is to stay strong, and above all, focused. But above all, don't be afraid of asking your dads for help. That's what dads are for, after all: they're here to help you with your life.
