You didn't mention your area of concentration, but a business degree is probably one of the most versatile degrees you can earn. Find something you are interested in and start applying. Most colleges and universities have tests which might help you to decide on a career path. These tests are usually available at no charge to students. One is called the strong test. It is basically a preferences test. Since you recently graduated, they may be able to give you one of them and provide some guidance. With your degree, you could get into a management or leadership track with any number of retailers or fast food restaurants. Pay with many of these programs is pretty good. Depending on your area of interest you may consider Home Depot, Lowes, McDonalds, Wendy's, Walmart, Kmart or Sears. This is only a short list of those companies who are most likely to have management track programs for those with a college degree. Most of these companies have a website which should provide information on career opportunities. Some other areas you may consider are transportation and logistics. Trucking companies are always in need of dispatchers and operations people. Warehousing is a growing area and there are a lot of opportunities available. Advertising agencies and public relations agencies are another area where you could utilize your degree. Ad agencies have opportunities for media buyers, research, billing and accounting and other operations functions. PR agencies will use people in dealing with media, newsletters, etc.,

SexyTrojan is right. You can do a lot with any type of business degree, but you are not likely to get into management anyplace where you haven't worked for a while. Every time you apply anyplace, make sure they are aware that yo are interested in their fastest track toward management, if you seek higher level jobs.

Apply at a bank, a magazine or any other company. Since it's not a technical degree, you can go anywhere outside of science and engineering.
Most places only look for a 4 year degree.

That kind of degree works in almost all business environments. Any Fortune 500 Company would be willing to employ someone with those majors.
