I took a job for which I was overqualified because I really wanted to have a job right when I finished grad school. BIG MISTAKE. Huge!

I think alum was just replying to my post and she knows that my husband is an officer.

But you're right about the "taking a job you're overqualified for to get a foot in the door" thing being a huge mistake. I know some people who did that right after college and it took literally years for them to dig themselves out of that hole.
