I second this, OP I do truly emphasize with your situation (I graduated right before the 2008 crash and had to join the Army). You should look into creating a startup or make significant contributions on a major open source project. Don't think that just because you're fresh out of school VC's won't be willing to fund you. If you're dead set on being a cog on a wheel feel free to send me your resume and I can give you some feedback.
