Come over to europe and do your PhD or next step in your studies here. After that find a job in your field, its probably not the best paying job but its better then bartender.

You can drive a truck with a history degree.

What did he work for?

>>16891179
He was unemployed for his youth, then got to work in the flipper industry. The factory he was senior at produced burger flippers, top notch quality.

>>16891187

>>16891190

I should rephrase it.
Come to germany. I dont know many young academics that have no jobs that are at least somewhat paid good. Yes they exist, but if you can speak english and german at some point and have a very good degree you can actually find jobs. At museums, libaries, somewhere in archieves, the communes and state is looking for those people quite often.
Essentially if you dont suck at what you are doing, there is a high chance you will find a job in germany. I have no clue why this doesnt apply to the US:

Very good = solid degree = you shouldnt suck

Keep in touch with your teachers/professors, they can help you with finding a job or with a positive reference. You need to prove that you're worthy of being employed. Start taking extra classes, try to get in honour students program. Study a foreign language, you can work as a tourist guide ("practical history") or you can translate foreign literature for tourists, if you won't find a job that you want. You need to stand out from the crowd, gl anon.
