Keep Looking! Due your research! Try posting to sites maybe outside your immediate area. Think out side the box or even your comfort zone. It may feel a little uncomfortable at first, as all new things ventured tend to do. You have skills that are marketable, why limit yourself to just making a living or maintaining your current lifestyle? There is no reason why you couldn't pursue your dreams more entrepenuerally Meaning go into business for yourself! Focus on doing something that you would love to do while at the same time making an impact in the world. You are in control of your reality, and what you feel about your situation will directly effect its outcome.
Good Luck!

Have you tried temp agencies and websites like
careerbuilder and monster.com
I recommend the job-hunting manual "What Color Is Your Parachute" by Dr. Richard Bolles
I would check with law firms, or tax preparation offices which are gearing up right now. Is there a local govt office for work resources and job placement, or does your school have a placement office.
I would check other universities and medical centers for possible entry level jobs. Does your city have online listings? Can you ask your local city, county or state representatives if they have openings for interns or part-time help.
Is there a local political organization for students such as Young Democrats or Greens that might know of job openings. Can you find legal or political advocacy groups locally or online that match your interest, and see if they have listings for job opportunities there or in related organizations?
Any such group which requires administrative skills to manage resources and raise money is good business experience.

Getting a degree is not only about gaining expert knowledge in a certain subject, particularly with an undergraduate degree. Many employers look at it as having demonstrated enough discipline, commitment and intelligence to have achieved a certain goal. Capitalize on your strengths, and don't ever even appear apologetic about having an "academic" degree. You'll do fine.

Pray about it and ask God to give you strength and to help you go in the right direction.
