I tell people a million times - if all you care about is paycheck and job security, get a federal job right out of h.s. and you'll be fine all your life. If you don't care - go find a job in what you enjoy doing. I did, excel like hell at it, my own boss and i'm doign very fine financially. If I went for a paycheck years ago, i'd be sitting in an office, printing reports, miserable, fat, and yelling at you guys all day.
Well I still do the last, but I digress.
If u need a job now, just to pay the rent and keep the lights on - you might have to settle for what you can get, and then figure out the rest of your life. Take your time.
