Hahaha, one of the reasons I went back to grad school (okay, only one) was so that I could have access to a career office, because I went through the exact same shit after JET that you're going through now. I also second the temp agency thing if you're planning on working in America; if nothing else, it's better to be employed while looking for a "real" job than just chilling at home, and temp agencies IME hook you up with higher-paying work than the alternative.

On a completely unrelated note, I approve of the Bohra chibi in your icon.
