An education is never a waste, and you know that there are factors to getting your dream job that you can't control. However, there are books that an help you expand your job choices. Since you have an education you must have general skills an employment agency would love. That is how I started out when I graduated. It took a little while to find a job that related to my major (the Arts) but all the little jobs I took before it gave me the references that helped me land a good job I wanted eventually.

Hang in there!
