This option might be out of the question for you personally, but if you find that there is no satisfactory employment out there at this time, the US Army would gladly accept you and send you to Officer Candidate School with your degree. You could do a hitch in the Army or another branch of the military as an officer, receiving decent pay and healthcare through the recession, then go back to civillian life with a resume showing leadership qualities and being entitled to veteran's benefits.
