请问HN：我是一名麻省理工学院的高年级学生，仍然失业——我的大多数朋友也是如此。
我是一名麻省理工学院的高年级学生，主修课程6（电子工程与计算机科学），即将毕业，但还没有找到工作。我申请了很多地方，参加了面试，做了很多副项目，但都没有成功——而且这不仅仅是我一个人的情况。我很多同学，都是我认识的最聪明、最努力的人，也面临失业或在努力寻找工作的巨大压力。
说实话，这让我感到沮丧。我来到麻省理工学院，希望能为自己和家人创造一个更好的生活。现在，我面临着回到一个不稳定和有虐待倾向的环境的现实可能性，同时还要继续找工作。光是这个想法就让我感到压抑。我甚至考虑过继续攻读工程硕士学位，只为避免回家，但我已经完全精疲力竭，毫无论文方向。
麻省理工学院给了我自由、食物保障、朋友，以及第一次拥有自己的床。这一切改变了我的生活。但现在毕业在即，感觉这一切都在悄然流失。
如果你经历过类似的情况——迟来的求职成功、意想不到的转机，或者任何建议——我将非常感激。是什么帮助你在感觉系统辜负你的时候坚持下来的？
感谢你的阅读。

I'm a senior at MIT studying Course 6 (EECS), and I'm graduating soon with no job lined up. I've applied to tons of places, done interviews, built side projects, but nothing has landed—and it's not just me. A lot of my classmates, some of the smartest and hardest-working people I know, are also unemployed or under incredible stress trying to figure things out.<p>It's honestly demoralizing. I came to MIT hoping to build a better life—not just for myself, but for my family. Now I’m facing the very real possibility of moving back home to an unstable and abusive environment while continuing to job hunt. The thought alone is crushing. I’ve even considered staying for an MEng just to avoid going home, but I’m completely burnt out and have no thesis direction.
MIT gave me freedom, food security, friends, a bed of my own for the first time. It changed everything. But now that graduation’s here, it feels like it’s all slipping away.<p>If you've been through something similar—late job search success, unexpected turns that worked out, or just any advice—I’d really appreciate it. What helped you push through when it felt like the system failed you?<p>Thanks for reading.
