Hi I'm 22, and in somewhat of a similar situation, except I haven't graduated yet... and I'm in a degree I'm not wanting to pursue as a career *doh*

Jobs are scarce. It's funny, I used to play this game called Pharoah. It's a city building game. I'd let the unemployment get to 10% sometimes and unless it was higher than that I'd not get any major city-wide effects. Now, seeing that in the US unemployment is less than that (close to it though) and there are SO MANY who can't get jobs, and the chaos that happens, I'd look at the game differently...

You're not alone. I know that doesn't help your individual situation but it DOES mean that it's not "just" your fault. Don't be hard on yourself for being in this situation - do the best you can.
