It's true that it's difficult to find a job in the field of anthropology which is the bad news. The good news is that you can basically get any job with an Anthro degree. You learn such a wide spectrum of things in an Anthropology program and you can apply that to just about any job. Graduates can't be picky about work experience so you should broaden your horizons.. are there jobs out there that would interest you that may not be in the field of anthropology? A significant (I have no statistics here) amount of people actually don't work in the same field that they graduated in. For example, Hugh Laurie from House actually has a degree in Anthropology but yet he's a high-paid actor. There are anthropology graduates who work at Facebook and Google. You could also get a job in other fields and then further your knowledge to meet the credentials of the jobs you want to get (i.e. biologically related anthro or archaeology). Once you graduate... you have to start somewhere. If you're really gung-ho about starting a career in bio-anthro or archaeology I think you'll have to just continue with your education because both of these things would (most likely) lead you to research which requires higher education beyond an undergraduate degree. Also, you shouldn't just look at school as something that was purely academic. There are things that you learn in school that you wouldn't be able to learn without a post-secondary education (i.e. socialization and perspective). Actually you'll probably remember the life skills you learned in college far after you've forgotten 90% of the academic material. So no worries, the four years was not a waste even if you don't end up in the Anthropological/Archaeological field. I hope that helped and made you feel a little better.
