I never heard of film maker, so I googled and it seems to be alternative to mysql or orcale. Have you ever thought of learning SQL?

I got an email from a recruiter the other day, where the guy was looking for someone with 10 years experience.....for a junior position
Keep your head up and keep trying. Took me 4 months to find my first "IT job" and about 2 years of work experience after that to get a real developer job in the traditional sense. I had a 2.8 GPA in college though, if I had a 3.5 or higher like most of my classmates it would have been easier.
My GPA was a tad lower than that and I know it hurt my prospects. But that's life. I have a good feeling about one company right now though. I'm hoping to wake up to an offer on Monday and never look back.

The javascript ecosystem is fantastic. Use typescript and get a language closer to C#/Java, plus the ability to make cross platform desktop apps with electron and mobile apps with nativescript, ionic or cordova. Use Node js for the backend. You can even do things such as robotics.
I like TypeScript, I just wish it had more OOP features like you might see in C# or Java. But I know that's because it has to transpile to JavaScript.
Which features would you like to see? I don't even think I'd want to touch a large, pure javascript codebase. Knowing what the types of the parameters are makes things way easier to reason about.
I can't recall off hand, I haven't touched my Angular project in a while. I think static classes was something I wanted to use but couldn't. A more logical way of overriding functions wouldn't hurt either.

won a scholarship for a bootcamp and got a job contract for when I finish. God is so good. They rejected me for the scholarship at first and then reversed their decision. 
All my people in this and feel like giving up, just keep grinding it out, keep your eyes open, keep the faith and keep praying.
Thanks @Data-Hawk for the C# book recommendation back in 2016, that was the beginning of it all & thanks @kevm3 for helpin this thread too.

Software development but I haven't been placed on a specific team yet. Regardless, I hope that what I work on gives me some direction on what to study when I start looking towards grad school.

That's excellent, man! I'm excited for you. I haven't enjoyed my dev role at the Fortune 500 that wooed me, but I know that my experiences definitely do not represent IT as a whole. Soak up as much as you can and maximize the opportunity. Happy to see that you already have a next step in mind. Black excellence, man. The takeover!!
I will say this for all the brehs on the market for a job in IT..
GO TO MEETUPS.
If education and knowledge of your given discipline is important in landing a job, I'd argue that having a solid network is just as valuable if not more valuable than having the knowledge.
Before these companies post their openings on Indeed or ZipRecruiter, they will ask people who already work at these places if they know anyone who's looking for a job. If you've been out to the meetups and have built relationships with people who work at these companies, that could very well skip you right to the front of the line.
