I just meant that people with degree-level qualifications should have more opportunities for jobs where they'll actually be able to put those qualifications to good use. You don't need a degree to work in a warehouse.
I will admit I don't actually know what else I could do. I just want a job which is worthwhile, where I feel I'm actually achieving something. Is that really too much to ask?

Qualifications get your foot in the door in the year or so after you graduate. After that it’s experience. I have qualifications in archaeology and journalism, but I haven’t practiced either in years. Nobody would employ me in either field today, and I suspect the changes in those fields are rather less marked than in IT.
It isn’t asking too much to want to feel like you’re doing something worthwhile, but you’re going to have to be prepared to work your way into a position like that. It might be worthwhile to identify a goal, and work out what steps you have to take to achieve it.
