What the hell do you have to do to get a job these days? I've done everything. E-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. This is stressing me out way too much I cant even sleep and I'm pissed off. So much for the hard work pays off BS preached over the years. I have zero to show for my efforts.NOTHING. DONT GO TO COLLEGE ITS NOT WORTH IT.
Often it's who you know, not what you know. Find friends in the industry and see if they have openings. Consider something at the bottom, work hard, and work your way up the ladder.

As another poster mentioned, NETWORK. Make friends with co-workers, send your management Christmas cards every year, etc/. It happens all the time -- some people can be mediocre and perhaps even "unqualified" for their job (in the technical sense) but they got the job because they knew that special person. That's how it works these days. Also, being popular helps.
It is really frustrating when you are not getting any offers. Do you volunteer? There are many organizations that can give you great experience and networking opportunities.
I don't know..... I probably wouldn't want to hire anyone who is so angry.
College is to make you nicely educated and is well worth it. However, if you mistakenly believe that a college degree is only to qualify you for an income, then you had better be very careful which degree you earn or you will be disappointed on the job issue.
I don't know the OP's history but I feel his/her frustration coming through the screen and I can't help but feel for him/her.
OP, take a day or two off from the search. Don't get anxious about it, just take the time and do something else, something you enjoy. Then come back, regroup, form a new plan and go at it again. You need a breather.
Best of luck.
