Is it normal that i am a university grad but cannot find any work?

This sounds completely normal actually. There are countless people in similar situations as you these days. The only thing you can do is to keep looking. Also, you should never quit a job unless you are quite sure you have one already lined up for afterwards.

This is why I am unsure about going to uni. I don't want to go into debt for something that I am not sure I can pay off. It just seems too much of a gamble.
Your situation, however, is quite normal. I know countless people who have went to a college or uni (whatever) and could not find work in their field. To me, it's absurd to think that you could immediately find something for you, and make the money the Internet says you will.
I don't know.. It just seems like a marketing thing to me, and a way to keep many people in debt to their governments.
If I do decide to do a schooling type of thing, it would be for me, not for work. I would love to learn math, so I can build things using calculations. Basic math for me, is really difficult, so I would love to learn it. I would also like to learn a trade. But, that's just me.
I think usefulness should be priority, not the size of your bank account, or recognition as a graduate.
But good luck out there, the world can be quite bitter =]

How much volunteerism did you do in your field before you started applying for careers related to your degree? It could help you out.

Last week, one of my profs was talking about graduates such as yourself who didn't have a high GPA but still managed to earn a degree in the end. Your experience is not the norm but it does happen quite often. Anyway, he explained how devastating it was for those students to be faced with the harsh reality of not having the options for grad school or for employment they believed they would have ....especially when they just spent the last 4-5 years of their life believing they would have 'success' upon earning a degree. The bubble bursts, and reality descends.

Perhaps you could improve your education; take some classes again to earn a higher GPA so that grad school might become a reality.

Or, maybe you could move somewhere where there's a higher demand for people with your current education, just to get some relevant work experience.

That's capitalism for you. I don't know anyone with a good job who didn't get it for knowing the right person. If you go about it the "honest" way, I mean going to interviews in equal conditions with everyone else, good luck.

Just because your degree was hard to get doesn't necessarily mean there are plenty of career prospects in that particular field

Mistake one you quit the job, and mistake two you quit before you were sure you had another job lined up. When you are switching jobs it looks bad to quit and its smarter to get a new job and than transfer instead of just saying "I can do better" and hoping for a job you might not even get. A lot of people are having issues finding work right now though and its not just you. A lot of college students are still working fast food jobs. Its very hard right now.

Wow, thanks everyone for insights. I guess it IS normal, huh. By the way, I would not have quit my job (no matter how much I hated it), if they had not scheduled me on my DAY OFF, and then when I failed to appear, LIE about it and claim that I signed up for that day myself while we did not even have a SIGN UP SHEET. I got so sick of those pathetic lies,I quit right then and there. Looking back now, I probably should have came in instead and lingered around long enough to find another job.

Very normal. I'm in the same deal. I am still a university student. For 3 years more, but yeah... Cause after you graduate and try to get a job, the boss looks at you like you are some kind of idiot. The boss asks you: "Have you worked in the field of "X" for 2 years?"
You are a graduate. It is impossible to have worked what the boss asks for, for 2 years.
You say no, boss says: "Next!"

So yeah. You, me and a ton of people graduating prestidgeous universities, only to wind up an idiot with a degree, working at some crappy job!

I know a guy with a degree in microbiology. Graduated last year. Very clever, works at Burger King...

Normal, sadly. I have heard that there are many college graduates that can't find any work in their fields. What did major in, if mind saying? Perhaps, the field you choose is very small? What did you minor in? It could be that they find you to be too over qualified for the job and vice versa. How do you conduct yourself in interviews?

There will not always be enough work suitable for the various skillsets of people in an entire country. What you must do is the best you can from what's on offer. If the job you just gave up was the best (at this moment), then you might have to concede this as a mistake.

Things do change over time, though. Lower your expectations for now.
