Firstly, my heart goes out to you (assuming this isn't a shitpost). Sorry you have to go through this. You don't have to take that route. I'm going to sound like a hippie while writing this but although all that stuff makes easy money, would that really make you happy? I know people who got into that stuff, and I mean, their complaints follow a common theme - they all feel like they're living an unfulfilling life. There's minimal professional/personality development. In hippie speak, they don't feel like they're living in a way which fulfills their purpose - they feel no sense self-gratification; they don't feel like they're connected to a purpose greater than themselves. It eventually hit them - their sedentary/unproductive lifestyle.

The relatively difficult route is always worth it because it's what ultimately brings joy - especially in retrospect. It's where you can sense your growth as an individual - it's fulfilling.

Now, for the actual input - you can still utilize the U of T's career services, if you haven't already - it's valid for 2 years. There's a bunch of workshops that take place every month for 4th years/recent grads and they give them exclusive access to certain job openings. I recommend checking it out asap (log in to CLN and check out the calendar). You don't necessarily need to network - just keep your eyes open and apply everywhere possible.

I believe there may also be opportunities open to recent grads to get hired within the university.

What was your major?
