Note: I don't have any prior paid work experience as I am a somewhat recent graduate and this has been a major hindrance. I cannot get hired for minimum wage jobs as I am over-qualified, but I also cannot get hired for full-time 30-50K/yr jobs due to being under-qualified.
To be honest, it feels as if the degree is useless.
If you want an underpaid go no where job stop telling them you have a college degree! Just say some college and don't go any further don't even say you graduated. It's that easy.
If you are under qualified then get a job and go to school nights and weekends or online and get your Masters. I worked out with a personal trainer while he went back to school for 2 years to get his Masters and he is now a Physical Therapist. So theres nothing preventing you from doing a push for the degree that opens more lucrative doors.
Unpaid volunteer work can also go on a resume so volunteer to coach students in math be a tutor or do it for minimum wage. It's working and being responsible and perfectly acceptable to put on a resume. Any charity trying to put adults into the work force and they need math help volunteer to help with their program.

Good luck!
Get "Dress For Success" by John Molloy and consider his advice for students:
- Vocal skill will affect your earning power more than any other detail.
- Acting skill will get you a job offer even when you are not qualified for the job.
- The most important benefit you get from school is your address book.
- The difference between a successful person and a very successful person is that the latter knows hundreds more people, and knows them quite well.
- No school will teach you any of the above. They don't even teach how to do well in their school.
Get a reliable job and a cheap pad within walking distance. No car. Save half your income. If you earn ten bux an hour and save half, in ten years you will have a hundred thousand bux. No other plan can give a positive net worth in only ten years. Study investments at the library in the evenings. At first you don't know anything about investing so buy pure silver coins and hide them at home. After the collapse (the nation is collapsing) the money will be no good but you will have precious metals to finance your investments.
How to support yourself in the meantime: A thriving business in any tourist area is driving limos, and all you need to get the job is a perfect or near perfect driving record. I say limos, not taxis. They don't care if you have a degree or not.
