If you want to get quick access to a job with your Degree - sign up with a Temporary Agency that works within your field.  Complete basic positions until you get handed a Temp To Hire position.  Then stay at that place for 24+ years.  That's what I did with my Associates Degree in Computer Sciences and Applied business.
Got hooked up with Office Team - did a basic call center job.  Then got an offer for a Temp Only position - at a Fortune 100 company.  Then did that job so well they offered me a variant position that was Temp to Hire and got hired in.  24 years later - still there, top of the food chain in my position.
