Many new grads expect to be starting out with a CEO salary for their first job. It just isn't like that. Sometimes you just need to swallow your pride and take that really low entry-level position. If your skills are great, you should be able to advance in no time. I know people who have been outta work for long periods of time and 99% of the time it's because their expectations are not in this reality of what they are qualified for.

This can really depend on your experience as well as the school and the degree/reputation of the actual school, i.e. Blah Blah School of Business.
While it is true that a lot of people come out of college hoping to get huge salaries, this is highly unlikely. There aren't enough of those jobs around for all the college grads. But every now and again, someone lands a decent job with a great salary, I did. But I base it on the fact that not only is my base salary great, I have the potential to rake in huge bonuses.
If the degree is relevant to the field you are looking to get into, it means something, it means a lot. Internships help but they don't outweigh the degree.
