Unless you live in a specific country, and area, know the right people and have the ideal profile. (This includes some sympathy from the guy hiring and the HR chick liking you)...
In my experience it's near impossible to do strictly aerospace engineering, real, productive work.
You might do comms, code, robotics, EE, mech, whatever, but the real positions are occupied by engineers who worked there for 30 years and will hire their friend's grandson.
You'll never know why, but he'll have that profile that worsens your depression simply because he never had to work or cook in the years you spent studying and working to pay for it.
It is what it is, at least try to find some joy in the suffering.
