I'm just going to say... first jobs are always kind of shit-tastic. You'll get to use your brain eventually, and maybe even your education, but it takes a while to build up a resume that's acceptable for brain jobs. It sucks but... that's the way it is, especially in today's economic crisis environment.

Also: I applied to grad school in the last recession, and it did not go well. Why? Because 936405246 had the same idea. Have you taken the GREs yet? Applying to grad school takes a lot of planning. You need to ask for recommendations, take all the necessary tests, figure out which programs you want to apply to and which professors you want to work with specifically. You have to write essays and find writing samples and write cover letters. I've done it 3 times and I am never doing it again :P
