My advice to all with degrees and certain trades: Think outside the box! You might have to change you career in this bad economy. I was recently ask if I wanted to do Personal training at my club. I realy don't, but can't turn down $1000-$2000 for part time work. I now run 2 businesses and will be a part time trainer and that is making me a good income in a sluggish econmy. The people that suceed is those who are willing to go the extra mile.
