I feel lost

Edit: I appreciate all the feedback you guys have provided and materials and experience shared. I know they do fall and spring game jams at my school and I’ll try to look into more of those in my area as well. I should also remind myself I am only a student and still have so much time to learn and gain experience and that I definitely need to be kinder to myself. Once again thank you for all the advice it has definitely helped me understand more of the possible directions I can look into and somewhat an idea of what I should be working on and towards. I really appreciate it!

I’m wondering if I’m just doing this all wrong. I’m going into my sophomore year of college pursuing an audio production minor along with my arts and technology major and I want to get into game audio eventually. The problem is none of my audio teachers have really any game audio experience (both come from other parts of the audio industry) and my school doesn’t really offer stuff specifically in game audio. I still need to learn wwise and fmod and I plan on doing that but even just getting started I feel so lost. I really love the idea of game audio and sound design specifically and have a lot of fun doing it. I’ve learned how to navigate gate pro tools, how to edit audio for game design, but other than that I really don’t know what I should be doing other than my portfolio and networking or where I should be looking for things. Every time I look at the state of the industry I get discouraged and wonder if this is even really worth pursuing despite loving the process and what I am learning. I don’t want to be stuck with no job after college and I’ve mentally prepared for the job search I’m going to have to deal with eventually but I just feel like I have no idea what I’m doing in terms of preparing myself for getting a job in the future. Any advice would be appreciated- I get I still have a lot of time in college but I also want to make sure I am prepared to hopefully find my way into the job industry once I leave but with the track I’m on right now I just feel really lost and confused.
