Have you considered applying for a state job? The pay might be a little lower than the private sector (depending on the position), but the benefits are outstanding. I’m sure it wouldn’t be hard for you to land something with the Department of Human Services, DOH, or DCA. Even the judiciary and OAG have entry level positions for those with bachelors. In fact, I’m sure the DOL and OIT do as well. They all should.

Just my suggestion :)

2nd this! Takes awhile in the hiring process, but plenty of jobs.

In the past benefits were great. I wouldn't boast as much now.

I find on average my benefits are still much better than the benefits offered to my private-sector peers. Maybe it’s because we’re young and somewhere between “fresh out of college” and “season professionals”, though.

Plus I pay so little for such great health insurance coverage that I always brag about it and I prob still will even after the price hikes.
