I appreciate the response. Are you commenting from a CE standpoint or software engineering? I took a lot of EE classes thinking I could get a hardware job, but that seems like a lost hope.
Software engineering. It can be a bit tough getting in because employers are reluctant to train programmers with no work experience. With a couple of years experience your options broaden significantly, with 5+ years and 2-3 employers under your belt (and provided you are good at what you do) you will have many offers to choose from.
Absurd as it may be, it is the reality of the market and the majority of graduates go through it.

Hang in there, it is worth it in the end.
