What about internships? Even part time helping in a police dept or something local to pad your resume. Might give you a leg in for a job. Networking is a big thing now adays. I mean... if you are already making $0 a month, why not make $0 a month and add some experience to your "I got lots of college learnin' but no job" resume.

To clarify, I did two internships as part of my curriculum and while they were excellent experiences, the hiring process for police/sheriff's offices is done in a different way than the private sector. Meaning, that they're using devices like merit boards, etc to prevent nepotism and political connections from playing a role in the hiring process.
Also, I'm not unemployed, but I'm still not in my field and working retail part time. In addition, I live in a small town in a particularly economically depressed part of the state where the police departments and sheriff's offices are small, don't have much in the way of civilian positions and volunteer opportunities. As such, I'm not moving to some place else until I get a serious job because I can't live on a Wal Mart salary here, much less a more urban area.
