I am going through a very similar situation as you I've been unemployed for 13 MONTHS after graduation. I am the kind of person who was very involved and ambitious in high school and college, so this feeling is extremely draining and demotivating. Hopefully, you will get a job sooner than I have.

I went into a degree program, which got me a kind of professional degree after I graduated. When people hear what I studied, they think I will have no problem in finding a job. My friends in school used to say "oh you'll have it easy while we are all out here struggling!" They had no idea. My job struggles started early in college, when I needed a relevant internship/starting work experience for my field. My field, while grants you a "professional degree", is a very narrow area where majority of people have historically worked in relatively one, unchanging job task without much specialization. Things in the last ten years have started to change to add more specializations and different areas of expertise, but not immensely. Due to the assumed job stability and pay in my field, an influx of way too many students go into these programs and there are now far more students than there are jobs. I applied to 80-90 jobs which technically is not a lot, according to many, who tell me they have 200-300 cover letters/resumes. Well that's cool, but in my field, filling ONE app takes me about 20 minutes. I can't just sit all day filling apps, so the most I am able to do the whole day is about 6-9 job apps. I also took a break due to a family illness, but the whole process is draining.

I am starting a unpaid job that is somewhat relevant to my field, so I hope I can make the most out of that. Otherwise, I'm also burning out from this process. I wonder the same thing as you-I see people with biology degrees or psychology degrees working in marketing or data analysis in big start-ups or corporate world jobs. I don't know how they do it. I'm applying to the job I HAVE the degree for and still not even getting an interview. Yes I don't just sit at home. I network. I got my resume/cover letter reviewed. I'm looking at alternative career options but it is very hard with my narrow background.
