Hey, same here.
I got laid off from my first 'real' job on March 18th. I sat around unemployed for two months and eventually took a temp job with terrible hours just to get back out there. Now, it's three months into that with not much else going on. I've had a few interviews, some for jobs I wouldn't have taken anyway, some that I would have LOVED to get. Usually, if I can get an interview I can get a job... but not this time around. Job hunting can really hurt your self esteem after a while.
Anyway, good luck to you. Your best bet right now is probably to look for stuff that closely matches your last known job description and go for that. Then you can retrain, study and look elsewhere once you have the security of a paycheck. Also, there seems to be a fragile balance between settling for something beneath you and doing what you have to do to earn a living. So far I'm walking the line... but we'll see.
