Why the fuck are all the jobs either some shitty McDonalds worker or required 5+ years in the industry? I graduated college in May and still don't have a job. Just three interviews in that span of time. All I want is something that pays 25-30k a year, isn't too terrible of a commute and preferably coincides with my finance degree.
Too much to ask for I suppose.

I know exactly what you mean. I was offered a job in late May or early June, so I told my former summer employers that I would not be coming back. Then my job offer was retracted due to an error in their computer system, so I tried to go back to my former summer jobs, but my positions had already been filled and I waited the entire summer for something to open up, but nothing did. Then the original job offerer called me to state that it was their mistake and that I was welcome to reapply, so I applied for three or four more positions, only to be called several weeks later and told that by "welcome to reapply" they meanth welcome to reapply after I work somewhere else for a year to gain experience. Their lack of perspective completely blew my mind. I don't know what made them think that I would have been desperate enough to apply to work for them if I
already had a job. It was the professional equivalent of being invited to reapply at a community college after a year of experience at a real college.
EDIT: Oops, I don't know why I hit the post button, because I wasn't done yet. Unfortunately, that job was the only interview that I could get out of over a dozen or more applications that I filed. It took me four more months to get another interview with a job that advertised "competitive salary and benefits" in the local paper. I got the job with no problem, but I'm still pretty discouraged, because I disagree aggressively with whomever typed that ad. I expected to leave college and earn a
minimum annual salary of $30,000 to $35,000, which I thought was a reasonable expectation. In fact, I was even setting my sights a little low, considering that the 2005 median individual income for a 25 year old male with a Bachelor's degree is just under $51,000. I'm currently making less than $16,000 per year
And does not actually give me sexual pleasure. I simply used an orgasm as an example to show the equivalent to how it makes my legs feel
