Should I take student loans for my cybersecurity course?

[CriminalLurker]

I live in Australia, Melbourne to be specific and its been impossible to find a job for the last 3 years from 15 to 18 yrs old ive applied to atleast 600+ listings in that time and I would say only 5 have responded and 2 have given me an interview. Applying online, handing out resumes in person ive done it all with no success, the Job market is legit clownworld tier. Cant even wagecuck

Anyway, Im trying to study cybersecurity at uni as I graduate this year I got into the course through a program for smart students. But the course tuition is 9k AUD/yr Im thinking of taking student loans, but the interest rate is insane something like 11% every year so I would be paying almost double at the end.
No income, no wagecuck experience, uni debt hanging over my head. How should I cope whats my next move.

I've worked part time b4 and liked it best and going to be working part time again. I like jobs where i dont talk to no one with headphones in and make like 2k a month lol

why you can't get to it free?

why not regular computer science and then learn cybersecurity on the side

Useless advice but sure I'll just stick with cybersecurity since thats what I like anyway.
Thing is, those part time jobs have minimum 2k applicants each. I went to a job interview yesterday and thats what it looked like, there were minimum 80 applicants from ages 15>50 applying at once.

Because education isnt free, the scholarships are also all for disabled, disadvantaged, women, etc. I dont fit into any of them.

Program only had cybersecurity, and its what I want to do in the future anyway.
