I know how you feel, not really in the same exact situation, but similar. I was fortunate to find a job pretty easily out of college but it was a curse in disguise. I have the same feeling of "why did I waste all this time in school if I'm unemployable", just that being unemployable came a little later for me.

Anyways, I don't really have great advice for you because I haven't figured it out either. But I will say, on the plus side, you're still right out of college and people will look at you with a clean slate. For me, I think my experience is just a detriment, nobody cares much what you did in college anymore once you've had a job, and I find that people bring up my college work less and less as the years go by.

So if I had one piece of advice, it would be don't get desperate and take the first offer you get, unless of course it happens to seem like a genuinely great fit. I'm sure you've heard before "You just need to get some experience starting out and then it'll be easier to move up from there", but that isn't true if the experience is some career-killing bullshit. And I don't mean working like a retail temp job, but like a "software engineer" job where you don't do any real software engineering.
