^ I think he's 7 months AFTER graduating, not before. Didn't use the word "out" correctly...
You've identified properly OP that many colleagues have gotten their jobs by luck or connections or good timing. There is often no rhyme or reason to these things. Just keeping putting yourself out there and eventually you too will find a job where some other guy will look on and say "how'd he get so lucky, what's wrong with me."
You're right that engineering is shit. It's hard when the world is increasingly corrupt, crass, hedonistic and near-sighted, and you are forced by legal obligation to be honest, professional, put the needs of your client and society first, and take thoughtful, low-risk, future-oriented action, always. Otherwise you're a bad engineer.
All this for an average salary, way above average legal liability, zero social benefits, and -1 SMV with women.
