I started my career as a kelly girl. Honest, I was even "Kelly Girl Employee of the Month" once -- they had to actually strike out the word "girl" on the preprinted form and scribble in "Employee" because I was the only kelly girl in the office that wasn't female.

Sign up at as many temp agencies as you can. At least it's money trickling in while you look for something more "real" -- I used the temp thing to swing myself into a real job, and eventually a career. A career I hate, mind you, but still it's better than flipping burgers.
