This.

If you are unemployed after college, I mean if you can't find ANY job, then there is something wrong.

Join the damn Peace Corps. Do something.

Before I walked across the stage in college I had a job offer accepted 1.5 months beforehand. My degree is in Electrical Engineering.

I drove up 3 hours to do the interview face to face and sell them me.

Needless to say it all worked out. Never did an unpaid internship, but had almost 7 years of work experience doing retail level management jobs. Even though I had a technical degree, they hired me for my soft skills and personality. Love the company and love my job (RF Engineer).

2 years later I now get offers from head hunters in the area offering me close to 6 figs.

People always want to put themselves in a box or tie themselves to a ball and chain. Break the fricking chain and get out your self imposed box.
