Jobs Simply

I am trying to find my best option with my degrees. what is my best option?

I have 3 degrees, two with Honors. I got an Associate's in Applied Science Magna cum Laude, then a Bachelor's in Human Biology (just average grades), then a Bachelor's in Business Administration with Honors (cum laude). I also have been Student Youth Leaders in college, got select for an International Honor Society; and have over 27 credit hours in Accounting classes (I mention this because a lot of the government jobs require this). So my younger brother, who got lesser grades than me and never even graduated high school got hired in the Department of Defense and is making $41,000 a year, full benefits, and they paid for his move to Michigan. I applied later for the same job and had an interview a week and a half ago. I haven't heard back from them. I've been applying to other jobs with no luck. So what are my options here? I want to find a good job, I owe a ton of money in student loans and am off insurance and I think I have a cavity or two with my teeth. I'm starting to think I wasted all my money in college and that it all comes down to luck. So I ask you all, what sort of job should I be applying for? I was thinking a government job since I'm willing to relocate; and they seem to be good with helping the move. They paid for my brother to move from Michigan to DC. Anyway, I appreciate the help. Thank.

1. Check http://www.usajobs.gov/ for government opportunities. You have diversified rather than specialized, so you're going to have problems finding high-paying jobs. The business admin may qualify you for a finance or payroll position, while the biology may qualify you for lab work. As for expenses, most agencies will not pay for you to move right now (what's called PCS, or "permanent change of station") unless you apply for a critical position. This will be listed in the position description.
