Feels like my job search is going nowhere. I don't really know what to do anymore.

I just need "a job". Any job. I stopped being picky several weeks ago when my job search wasn't turning up anything. The jobs I see that I would like to get I can't and I have to assume it's either because of my spotty job history with horrible employment gaps, or because of a DUI from a couple of years ago. What really sucks now is the lowest paying, low skilled labor jobs won't even take me because of my college degree (I had a temp company tell me on the phone as much).

I'm wondering if my resume is just crap. I really, really hate those things by now. I'm starting to think I need to go back to college. A bachelor's degree doesn't seem to be cutting it. I'm in my early 30's so I really do hate that idea. My degree is in organizational management and I never see anyone asking for that. I'm not even 100% sure I know what it's for anymore (business admin? hr?).

I've already started selling all my stuff to make ends meet but if I don't get a job soon I'm going to be really in bad shape.
