Does anyone know where a new college graduate can get a good job

Does anyone know where a new college graduate can get a good job?
I just graduated from the University of California, San Diego and am in need of a job. I double majored in Psychology and History, and I also have a minor in Communication. I really want to be a writer, so I'm writing some things now, but I know freelancing isn't really going to rake in the big bucks needed to pay the bills. So, I'm looking for a stable, well-paying job that would hire a recent graduate. If anyone can give me advice, that would be great. Thanks!

A little under $1,400 in self-employment taxes, plus whatever income tax is due based upon your total income. You're taxed on the net income from the self-employment so any business expenses that you can document will reduce the tax bite.
2 :
Around 14.1% for self employment tax for social security and medicare, plus income tax - the income tax % will depend on your total income and tax situation

Bro go to the gym and sell yourself to some out of shape girls you know convince them that you can help or for that matter some babes ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
2 :
Try and get a couple people to hire you free-lance to get some experience. Friends, relatives, friends and relatives co-workers. You may end up finding you like working more on your own. But either way you will get experience. You can market yourself effectively as a personal trainer by being upbeat and personable to everyone you come in contact with. Networking will be the key to getting clients.
3 :
Do some freelance work. Post ads, go on craigslist, etc. Do some volunteer - maybe call a local rec center and offer to teach 1 free fitness class a week for a month or two - you'll get great references, experience, and community service is always good for business. Call it "Summer ShapeUp" "Hot for the Holidays" or something. Talk to local businesses about offering classes to their students for free or a low rate. I work with a modeling agency, and we're always looking for people to come in and train our models on make, hair, fitness, etc.

Start advertising your services and offer them at a lower rate than those who are experienced. This will help you get people in the door to gain experience and get you closer to building a business. Some cheap ways to advertise -- Craigslist, word of mouth (tell your clients to refer friends and give them both a discount), flyers in sporting stores or other places that focus on appearance (tanning salons, hair salons, spas, etc.) and as hand outs on the street, signage on your vehicle, or small display ads in smaller market publications (think suburban newspapers versus the main metro publication
