4 years ago I graduated with a degree in communications with an emphasis in public relations.While in school,I did one internship.
Since then Ive applied to several different jobs,getting no response at all back.
What I would like to know is:
Are there any jobs out there that only require a college degree in anything?
Is it even remotely possible that I can be hired for a job other than working on an assembly line at a factory,or washing dishes in restaurant,or stocking shelves at wal mart??

Ya know, until that crack about stocking shelves, I thought you were an intelligent person. My best friend has been working at Target for 17 years at an hourly rate, and at the the end of the year has made more money than the store Manager who is on salary. The point is, you gotta start somewhere, bubba!

When you can't find it on your own, employment agencies are usually a good source. Some companies only work with agencies because they get a chance to screen their potential employees better. Some of these agencies are only temp to hire and some are direct hire. Try the direct hire positions first and if that doesn't pan out let your agencies know you are open for temping to perm. A lot of temp to perms become permanent. Notice I said agencies, because you need to sign with more than one, try about three for starters and they don't find you something in a week, try three more. You should never have a defeatist attitude, nothing beats a failure, but a try. Get out there and do your thing. Have faith.
Best wishes.

If you've been looking steadily for four years, you probably need to do something different that what you've been doing for your job search. If you're getting interviews but not offers, need to work on your interview skills - if you're sending in resume's but not getting any response, work on your resume - also follow up with a visit or phone call a week or so after sending a resume. Are you sending resume's in response to ads, or just blind - if just blind, a lot of them will go into a file or the wastebasket.
If your internship went well, check back at that company and see if they have any openings. Contact your old boss.
Good luck.

Yes. My boyfriend got a finance degree because he wanted to work for a bank... needless to say, he is now a manager for CVS and he's making $45,000 a year. You could even do something like that. By the way, he just turned 25.

Sounds to me like you may need to work on your resume. If you can get the money together get one profesionally done. There are jobs out there but to impress potential employeers ou need a good resume` and make sure you include a cover letter.

There are plenty of jobs out there for degreed people, it all depends upon if you are willing to relocate to get one. Some people don't want to do that.
