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