Not to sound too cliche, but there is something to be said for working your way up in a company. When I graduated in 1990, I took a job as a receptionist (which I felt was below my capabilities with a BS in Elementary Education). By 1994, I had gone from receptionist to payroll clerk to marketing assistant. In 1996, I became Director of Promotions for a chain of convenience stores. Now, that wasn't the highest job on the totem pole, but it had lots of perks, and I am convinced that if I had stayed I would have advanced even higher. However, I decided to become an at-home mom instead.
So, by taking a job in your particular chosen field, despite the seemingly undesirable nature of it, you may find yourself where you wanted to be all along. Of course, a short cut would be to find the exact job you wanted from the beginning, but that's not always possible.
Be patient; you'll find what you're looking for!
