Why does no one "go postal" anymore?

Where are the job boards for people with a degrees? I wasted my entire day looking through worthless postings on Monster.com, CareerBuilder.com, and HotJobs.com for restaurant managers, Dollar General clerks, and psychologists for the US Navy. The proliferation of these types of job boards only back up my initial argument: it is much harder to get a job if you have a degree than to get a job that does not require any investment of time and wasting money. College did involve a lot of vice, but a after two years of failed courses and academic probation most of us realize we better leave with a diploma.

Degrees have given me pride and pride has been known to blind. Now I'm overqualified for every job on the popular internet sites and sweating my ass off in an apartment with no A/C. 

Let the games begin! Hi-oh!

That title is a bit misleading considering the job hunt has been going on since mid-May; around the time the thesis was defended and after I walked across the stage to get the empty diploma holder. The job market is bad, but most people think it is bad for those with B.A.s and below. Migrant workers are no longer illegally crossing the border because there are no jobs in Texas or California; factory workers in Michigan have been getting laid off for months; and stay at home parents are leaving their kids to the in-laws while he/she returns to work. This information is old hat. 

In my extensive social circle I do not know one person with an Associate's Degree who is unemployed. Most of them live paycheck to paycheck, but this has nothing to do with lack of work. Most of them have more kids then they can handle, but that delves into a cycle of small-minded behavior that comes from class position. There is a corollary with education, but this is not a concrete ideology. Enough of that... I'd kill to be making what some of these community college graduates are making and I'd still have the intelligence to buy a dog rather than creating a houseful of kids.

Instead, I'm in the same position as every other person I know with a Master's degree acquired in the last two years: working a job that has nothing to do with said degree and/or looking for a job on a daily basis, but with no end in sight. If I had not been an egotistical ass I might have settled for that A.A., taken a job setting up tee times, and bought a 2 bed/2 bath stucco in a town with 2 Walmarts, a McDonald's, and a Subway at my (and my family's) fingertips. 

This first entry was a bit long, but the goal is to follow the job hunt of a guy in student debt because he kept telling himself he would find a well paying job when all of this was over. In reality, I am beginning to see that was just an excuse I was giving family and friends (and myself) for moving away and staying away from a real job. However, I'm bitter about my decision, not regretful of it.

I'm going to return to my bottle of beer, sports talk radio, and box fan (my A/C quit today and it's 95 outside... at 6 PM) all while searching a bunch of irrelevant job sites looking for a job that does not require an M.A. in Film History and Criticism. That above ground pool I could have afforded as a Starbuck's manager does not sound so bad right now.
