*Hugs* Babe, the job searching process is hard. I know, because it took me 3+ years post graduation to finally find a job that I truly love, and even that's lucky. Sometimes it takes people longer.
Here's a few tips from my experience:
-Utilize your college career services -Network: anyone you know, friends, family have them on the lookout -If you can, see if you can visit with a career counselor at DePauw. I visited with one at UMSL, where my dad teaches and she was very helpful.
I really don't know how to define a "reaL" job. I guess WFYI would be it, and I got it because WDD underwrites for WFYI and one of Shane's bosses at the time got me in touch with a sales rep there.
But my current job, I just sent my resume to my now boss and he brought me in and just loved me right from the start. However, it was several months later when I was hired.
There's no one magic formula for getting a job. The best you can do is be active, stay with it and try and be "out there" in several different ways.
Hope that helps, I wish I could tell you one way that would just be perfect, but I can't.
Good luck and I'm here if you want to vent because I certainly understand your frustraion!
