You have a very "woe is me attitude." If you want something, you gotta go out and get it. If you wanna get paid, then start doing things to make it happen. I have a buddy who graduated with a high GPA with a more far more worthless major than you (psychology). He then worked for a lawyer doing meaningles crap like scanning documents. He then went on to do market research for a real estate consulting company...getting paid not that well. He then took the GMAT, scored very high, got into a top 20 university, and is now all but assured of a 6 figure income upon graduation.

In regards to construction, my brother just quit his 6 figure job (2nd time) and is now doing construction (for a buddy's firm). However, my brother's end goal is to handle all of his rental properties, and I'm assuming he is just doing the construction work to gain more experience in that area so that he can handle any problems that may arise. Going into construction is fine but hopefully you would want to parlay it into something else.

BTW, it seems to me like a 9 to 5 IT job is more your style...one where you can surf the web all day and take 2 hr lunches. Far easier than doing construction work.
