I'm talking about creating a job for yourself, i.e. becoming self-employed/starting a business with a friend, not competing with Tesla.

You're a noob in your freshman year at the latest. Not after three or four years of class projects, study, summer internships!

And albeit your value added isn't going to be as high as seasoned practitioners', are your prospects as dismal that you couldn't create a job for yourself that would pay your living expenses + some pocket money, and have a prospect of getting you on a good career path?
