Job market is tough. If you can find a job that is relevant to what you majored in, I say take it even if it is relatively low wage.

So far I have applied to 6 total areas. All entry level, nothing spectacular. The caveat is many places are only looking to hire full-time workers. Which cuts me/us out of a lot of jobs.

I received an email today from a local seasonal employer who posted about a paid internship on craigslist. I have been mailed asking when would be a good time for me to have an interview. Hope things go well the pay isn't great, but it is 4 months experience that could prove invaluable as I transition to another location.
This.

Ah it sucks trying to follow up on positions that require 1+ years of experience, even for something as basic as being a server -.-

Work for 8 bucks an hour for two years ¬¬

I don't think it was that hard back then to find a job though.
