Well, yes, the new entry title wouldn't mislead me. Unfortunately, being a student doesn't allow me to know enough folks in a domain other than 'software'.

  Oh, you'd be surprised. For example: what do your parents do for a living? Did you ever have a summer job, or an after-school job? Do you have any (slightly older) friends who have already graduated and taken jobs? Siblings? Aunts or Uncles? Friendly neighbors? I'm guessing that you know lots of people-- the trick is to a) talk to them about what they do for a living, and b) listen. (That last step is critical.)

    My parents basically live on a farm in an isolated village in an economically undeveloped county. Forgive me if I sound harsh, but the tech world wouldn't believe how needless software still is in the vast majority of Europe. Not to mention cultural differences -- I admitted I was a web developer in a real estate agent's office, and they wanted me to fix their internet connection. I honestly appreciate your input and will keep trying. :)

      My first startup, which I successfully cashed out of a few years back, developed software for farmers in Europe and South America. Seriously. There are still many millions to be made there.
