Not a recent grad but I graduated in 2008. I thought I'd find something straight out too.

But after a few months a got desperate and took a meaningless I hate. Now working two jobs. It's gonna be rough. Real rough. Companies and seemingly the world hates college grads. Just get looking is the only advice I can give. I know it ain't much, but what of options to you have?

Also don't be afraid to a job outside your major. That was one of biggest mistakes I made two years ago.

Don't worry about your %$#@%@# degree. %!+$% literally a piece of paper.
It's all about who you know. Especially during these times. Don't be ashamed to ask folks in everyday settings whether they know of openings.

I feel everything OP says, except the errand boy part. I am currently at an unpaid internship on Capital Hill and what really surprised me the most was that most of the other interns are similar to my position (some a few years older).

I guess the good thing is that this situation allows me to try to do something I've always wanted to try, which is try to become a Naval officer. If that doesn't work out, I can take my three years of work experience (2 years of a law firm, and a summer internship at a think tank) and degree and try the market again. I'm just starting to run out of money though so I'm going to have to get some sort of BS job for some extra cash though.

Currently, I am working but I am trying to find a better paying job. Solely because if I don't then these loans won't go away. And, I can't get started on investing my business ideas that I want to put out there.

So good luck OP, it took me nearly a year before I found my current position. Keep on grinding and don't lose hope.

To all of you saying get on your grind and it's not has hard as it seems or all my friends have jobs, etc. Please consider yourselves lucky and don't try and discourage others.

I have been grinding for a year now. Internships, volunteer opportunitites, networking up to my ears, resumes after resumes, working dead end jobs, etc. Everything you can possibly do. I've done and more. And to be honest I live in area that hasn't felt the recession as bad as other parts of the country, so I can only imagine.

I'm back in school but I feel this is a waste too. I just don't know what else to do.

Job opportunities lag behind the state of the economy. The economy may be rebounding, but the new jobs probably won't come around for a while.
