You don't have to get a job related to computer science, there's no shame in doing a "lesser" job, it's still a million times better than leeching off unemployment benefit. If you really don't think you can get a job related to computer science then finding other jobs will still be extremely useful in building up your work and life experience. Believe it or not, employers nowadays actually care more about someone's work experience than what qualifications they have. And if you're thinking that perhaps the last four years were a waste, don't because you can still claim to have gained a lot of invaluable skills like time management, organisation & planning skills, analytical skills, communication skills and problem solving skills.
oh wow you just made feel a lot better than i had been this whole week with just one reply. i've been thinking the same thing too - i might turn to teaching just like you =D though i never teach before but i'm optimistic that i can do it. hope i can still remember my maths XD the only problem now though would be my parents. they still expect me to get a job with my computer science background. sometimes it's hard to explain to them why i can be the best student during school, but flunked really bad in uni.
Honestly, your situation reminds me a lot of my own and I hate to see someone else go through what I have so I'm doing my best to let you know all things I should have really known earlier on but was too late finding out.
I really enjoyed IT classes in secondary school so I think I would like being able to teach it. The only thing I'm worried about is having a room full of uncontrollable brats who don't care about learning D: Hopefully, the course will teach me well about behaviour managements techniques.
Teaching Maths wasn't my idea but was suggested to me by an advisor because of my engineering degree and because I had good Math grades in school. I wouldn't have to do anything more complicated than what is in secondary school and when I first become a teacher, I'd only be teaching the first years so it'd just be stuff like basic multiplication, trigonometry, area/volumes etc.
I too was quite a good student in school but once I got to Uni, things went kinda pear shaped for me too >_< The
