Ask yourself these questions:
1) Am I aiming for a job that is very competitive. If so, how can I stand out from the competition?
2) Am I suitably qualified for what I want to do? If not, how do I go about getting suitably qualified.
3) Am I presenting myself well at the interview stage, and is my CV as good as it could be? If not, maybe take it to a CV doctor. Practice interview techniques.
4) Am I looking in the right publications for jobs? Am I going for the job that is best suited to me? Am I going for something I genuinely feel passionate about, or am I just going for something that 'will do'.

blame the government and the way they don't protect jobs and allow higher education to be a market place ... they allow young people to choose a course when they are too you, get in deep debt and live with the consequences when they come out. It would be better if they decided on what skills the country needs and limited courses to only provide the workers for this... The old ethic of work hard and you'll be all right is gone ... Companies so not care about bringing in people from overseas or outsourcing jobs that bright young people of britain can do. I have an engineering PhD. and I've had to leave one place because they got guys over from India to do my job ... by the way i am not racist, but i think the government should have a plan for its people and not just let the market sort it out ... but labour aren't socialists.

That's the story of life I'm afraid.
You have the smarts but no experience.
How do you get experience? Get a job. The old employment catch-22.
A lot of companies will not employ you as you're considered over qualified and they think you'll be off and running as soon as a better offer comes along.
A lot of my qualified friends ended up working in fast food joints, because that's where they were happiest.
Years of studying will not guarantee employment or a high salary I'm afraid.
Don't give up. Good luck.
P.S.
It could have been worst you could have studied to become a BetaMax video player repair engineer for 4 years.

I dunno whether it's something you may have already tried or something that would be to your liking, but have you tried galleries and museums?? You could be a curator or marketing exec. It's an interesting job and there are loads of galleries around the world to chose from.. I hope you find something honey, there's nothing worse than wasted talent..
Best of Luck.. :o)
