The post-undergrad job search has only compounded my lethargy. I am 27 years old, fresh out of undergraduate college and already tired. I am 27 and done

Surely, you must have had some idea of what you wanted to do as a career when you got out of school...what kind of jobs are you looking for? Do you have any interest in teaching? Write a book, you unpublished bastard! One thing I might recommend is going to grad school. Times are tough right now..so why not take advantage of that by furthering your education, so you will be in a better position when things presumably get better. As someone who will not major in anything "practical" like business or a science, I feel you.
I was hoping to find *at least* an administrative position, maybe even one at my alma mater. I was hoping--best case scenario--for some kind of editing/technical writing job. I wasn't expecting anything lucrative, just meager, entry level. Etwas.
As far as grad school, I really want to go, but the programmes I want to get into are really competitive... and expensive. Sure, I can afford to pile on loans because of my G.I. Bill-fueled undergrad but I also have to think about living at home for even longer. Maybe I should just apply to some of the PhD programmes. Chances are I won't get accepted but, if I win that lottery, I at least am covered financially and might even get to billet on campus.
Dom, if you want to get a PhD, you're totally freaking qualified. You've got a killer GPA, right? There's a lot of good advice out there on how to go about doing it and how to get accepted.
On a side note, I don't know how you feel about lawyers, but I think you'd make a fantastic law student. Not to mention, you'd probably meet the criteria to get into a really good school.
if we get into world war three because israelis are a bunch of a holes i am seriously going on a homicidal rampage. (One out of frustration, and two i figure hey maybe the US govt will join my side and kill more people for me.)
Any chance that you could find the time to do any volunteering? Your a very likable guy, you have a ton of experience and are probably more than qualified for a lot of things. You just need some connections - I'll bet that it won't be hard if you give it some time.

I'll still apply... just with low-to-no expectations.
