I know how the original poster feel. I'm majored in psychology and it's frustrating. I'm tried to find jobs in my field, but I had to have experience. I wanted to do research to gain experience, but I didn't meet the required grades. I had a 3.0 at the end of my junior year. I wanted to do research in my last semester, because I wanrted to get the required classes out of the way. But, I had a rough beginning of my senior year this time last year. My great-grandfather died and I was dangerously ill. My grades fell. I didn't make anything below a C, but still.
I've never had a job in my life. So, I'm trying to find a job, period. Today, I posted my resume to a local company that I would love to work there. If all fails, I might put in an application for Starbucks. It's not much, but some money is better than no money.
To ztawinthropgirl, be glad that you have a job. I know it sucks, but having a job is better than unemployment.

As someone who's been on both ends in the past year, I'll tell you that your best bet right now is to get a part-time job that you might not like so much but that will put something on your resume. As an employer, I would find it odd that you've never had a job, yet your GPA was low (no offense... not that 3.0 is bad, but it's not stellar, either). Did you volunteer a lot? Were you very active on campus? In your sorority? Put all of those things down, and that might help. In the meantime, look for any job that you can get, but don't commit to full-time unless you really want to.
