Ok, here's what's up, people.
[b]Step 1: Don't major in something stupid.[/b]
Did you fuck up Step 1? Not all is lost. Yes, you probably wasted plenty of time and money, but there's nothing you can do about that now.
Surely in your undergrad you learned how to use Excel, Powerpoint, Word, etc, well, and you're a relatively decent typist, because you're a 20-something in the year 2015.
[b]New Step 1: Apply to a temp agency[/b]
Not very fun, I know. But there's tons of places that always need data entry help in payroll, accounts payable/receivable, human resources, accounting, etc. Depending on where you live, it's not hard to find one of these jobs that pays $12/hr.
No, it's not Maserati money. No, it's not a fancy one-bedroom apartment in they city money. But it is money.
Even better, they might have temp-to-hire positions where you work there for [x] months then you get hired as a full-time regular employee. Yay benefits! Yay 401k contributions!
Is it the perfect job that you wanted? No, but it puts money in your pocket, puts something other than your GPA on your resume, and gives you some work experience. Use that work experience as stepping stones to the field that you want to end up in.
Stop feeling sorry for yourself and stop blaming The Man or The System because you made stupid choices. You're an adult now. You're responsible for yourself, nobody else.
