I haven't had much luck searching for my first "professional" and I'm wondering if it's due to salary "expectations". I don't want to price myself out of potential opportunities. What questions should I ask/look for about benefits, etc? Any advice would be helpful to start the process of paying off loan debt.

Be open minded. Know what you need to live off of and dont go below it but give up on opptoetunities. Professional jobs require sacrafice of putting your career ahead of opportunities.

Are you getting interviews and offers and turning them down or are you filling out applications that ask for salary expectations?

Are you just out of undergrad? If so, what field?

I haven't met a single person who gets out of school and makes what they think they are "worth" in their first job.

What do you think is a fair expectation on salary?
