I have the same problem. I sent out over 50 applications and got one response last summer. I'm now working at a TV station in production... definitely not glamourous. I was part-time from September through last week, and now I'm finally full-time. The pay is absolutely horrible, though. I'd make more at Subway than my job, and the hours are awful (3:30 am-1pm). I've also had a hard time getting people to respond (even when I follow up) and I have been caught in the "over-qualified for some but not enough experience for others" situation. Luckily I had an intervew last week for my dream job, but I'm still waiting to hear. The job market isn't that fabulous right now, and I know a ton of people in the same boat.
The advice people have given me is to be thankful I have anything right now and to use it as life experience. I know it sounds crappy, but one day I'm sure you'll have a job in your field that you like and you can look back at your first job out of college and laugh and think of how much more you like your new job.
