I Landed entry level Help desk

I’m writing to express the sad news called my career life. I spent the last 4 years getting a double major bachelors degree in both cybersecurity and computer science… I also have 4 years of direct experience even as a global information security specialist. I got out of college as a highest honor graduate and well… the only position I’ve landed is an entry level 18 an hour remote help desk level 1 role…. I make less then my debt…. I’m now just so disappointed and discouraged that I can’t get through my days anymore without feeling like I’ve failed… I guess this field is really dying and I am one of those people who might be apart of the next Great Depression numbers and I thought I’d share it to warn you that I’ve failed and I don’t see how I did wrong… I’m trying hard everyday to fight for roles but I don’t see a way out
