When I graduated from college, I could not get a job in the field I went to school for at all. Hell, I was working at Lowes putting lumber in people's trucks or dry wall. The thing is that you will need to take whatever job you can get to pay the bills and keep things moving but always look out for the job in your profession. You have to be diligent and it may take years before you get that chance but the key is that when the chance comes you are prepared and ready to jump right in.
It took me 2 years before I found an entry level development job after college. Even during that time, I continue to add to my resume by attending classes for specific stuff and gaining certifications. I moved from Lowes, to a support job at Microsoft to assembly worker at IBM to development job at a paint company to developer at a software company. Each time, I found ways to continue my education and be prepared so when the opportunity did come, I could move up.
Even today, I continue to keep myself educated in up and coming tech so that even if I leave the job I am at, get laid off or fired, my skill set is always in line with the industry so obtaining a new job is a lot easier than getting locked down with what you do in your current employment.
