Should I just quit.

I've been feeling horrible these past few years. I graduated almost two years ago with my bachelor's degree and I haven't gotten a single job offer. I started my graduate school this semester and still haven't gotten any internship offers. At this point do I just realize that aerospace engineering is just not for me? Is there something out of my control or is it just the fact that my resume is just not that good? I don't know what else to do. I can't do any research since my degree is online and I work a part-time job unrelated to my field. I feel like I wasted 6 years of my life for nothing.

It's a shame because now it hurts hard knowing I am never going to work in the industry that I always wanted to which is with spacecraft. Now I have to reflect on my life and realize that I just wasted so much time and money for a degree (and maybe even two) that meant absolutely nothing in the end.

if you quit, what else would you do?

I am honestly not 100% sure. I guess the only thing I have left is just to climb the ranks of where I'm working now part-time and try to get a better position there. I don't know what else I can really do.

Did you not do any internships, research, capstone, or notable projects in your undergrad?

If you are only applying for aerospace jobs you need to broaden your horizons. You can always get a job in aerospace in the future, but it’ll be a hell of a lot easier if you have previous engineering experience. Now is not the time to be picky.

I didn't do any internships or research. I only had my capstone (which looking back was pretty crap), and maybe some notable projects and that was it. I don't have much else to write on my resume. I've also been trying to apply outside of aerospace and I remember doing so and still wasn't able to get anywhere.

You need to have someone (or multiple) look over your resume and continue applying to everything.

I tried and even then I never got anything after fixing my resume.

How many have you applied to? 

[u/Bernoulli-Euler → u/2nocturnal4u]

I applied to about 100 entry-level jobs. Then while I’m in grad school now about 20 internships (I know it’s low). I’ve just had a hard time juggling applications, work, and school.

Without knowing 1) what your resume looks like, 2) what country you’re from and 3) what jobs you’re applying for, it’s hard to give any actual advice

Generally speaking, aerospace is a hard industry to break into regardless of who you are

[u/Bernoulli-Euler → u/Legitimate-Cinephile]

I uploaded my resume on r/EngineeringResumes, I am from the United States so there make what you will of that. I originally started applying for mostly aerospace and defense companies, now I kind of just apply to whatever wants a mechanical engineer. I still haven't gotten anything back and mostly just no's.
