Feeling hopeless

When I first started grad school, I was filled with excitement and hope, believing I was finally on the path to a career I truly cared about. But after nearly a year of endless job applications, thousands of them, countless rejections, and even referrals that led nowhere, I just feel defeated. No matter what I do, nothing seems to work out. I’ve poured everything into this, and yet I feel like I’m stuck in the same place, completely lost and unsure of what I’m doing wrong. At this point, I don’t even know if there’s anything left to try.
