Getting a solid degree is a good option regardless.
However it’s a popular market too, unless you have unique skills of course competition may be high.
Lots of grads in the US too.
But don’t give up, make the journey as important as the goal. Get the degree and keep aiming for your goal. If you really want it you’ll get ther eventually.
I think it took me 10 years and I already started off far down the line.
But sometimes people be lucky too. You never know.
Good luck.
Btw America is massive. Didn’t see you said where. It’s quite different from region to region. None that different to the U.K. in many ways, but as a place to live permenantly really it’s a wide open choice of many trade offs.
Where do you want to live in the US? Are you studying computing because you like it? That helps, people who do it for only the career tend to be the lacklustre who don’t stand out for visas. Just my thoughts, your mileage may vary
