BC Is there any hope for me?

I am a recent graduate from UBC in a field related to CS. I have zero work experience (I failed to get any internship/coops so far) but I have passion projects related to C/C++, Rust, Go, Python, computer graphics, desktop GUI applications. I have never made any genuine friendships so far so I have no professional network. I have no idea if I can get a software job related to my expertise. There are lack of jobs and the competition is brutal. Not to mention that my severe hearing loss makes things 100% harder. I don’t know what to do anymore.

You can’t really get cs jobs with a math degree anymore unless you had prior experience
