I cant get an internship, what should I even do at this point?
I can't get an internship. I've been trying every year with a spreadsheet, I apply to every place in the country (UK), to both prestigous and no prestigous places, even things outside of engineering. I have postitions in societies related to chemical engineering, I have decent grades, good recommendations from professors and I can't find anything. I took my CV to my careers advisor and they told me it was almost perfect, I have also tailored my CV everytime to each job, and other peoples advice as well and I still can't find anything. I network as well and go to every single networking event I can find near me. I feel like giving up on this degree because it's legitimately not worth the headache and stress. I'm in my penultimate year and i'm so jealous seeing all my classmates get internships or jobs from their parents when they haven't put in any work just to get opportunities I would literally kill someone to get. I feel like I've sacrificed so much time just to study all day and night. It feels so unfair but some smartass redditor is going to turn round to me and say life is unfair. I asked about research positions at my university as well but I can't get any.
