When I was just out of school an experienced professional (on the board at a large university) sat next to me on a long plane ride. As I complained about not having the chance to use what I learned in school (mechanical engineering with a job as a mechanical engineer) on the job. He spent some time explaining how the goal of the curriculum was to teach me how to think and that given the breadth of the subject it would be impossible to teach someone how to do everything that might be required of a mechanical engineer (or any other discipline). Many years have passed since that conversation and I've learned that many (maybe most) people with a given degree do not end up doing just what they thought they were trained to do. In some cases these people are happy and satisfied - they are doing what they like to do. In other cases they couldn't find a job in their field so they took what they could find. The whole point of this paragraph is to suggest that you should not limit your career possibilities to just your degree.
Examples that come to mind:
My wife's good friend trained as a dental assistant and eventually became business manager for a large dental practice.
One of the kids I coached in soccer is the area sales representative for a large drug company with his biology degree. He didn't plan on doing that but loves it.
My son's good friend, EE grad is a project manager for a large petroleum
pipeline company. He loves the work even though he does no engineering at all.
A good friend is the service manager for a large building automation/alarm system company, having been a professional firefighter then electrician, then refrigeration mechanic.
The kid who grew up across the street finished mechanical engineering last year and wanted to do graduate work in the bio/medical field. He landed a job at a medium sized manufacturing company and they've adjusted his assignment so that he does health, safety and environmental work - he loves it because it has the content (bio/medical) that he was looking for.
There are lots of choices out there though in general it's safe to say that jobs are hard to find. Regional economy is quite variable so your willingness to pick up and relocate may impact your ability to land that first job.
