Newbie looking for career help

Dear WSO,

I just registered here. I graduated with my MS degree this May, and, well, despite looking since January, I've had no luck whatsoever getting, well, anywhere...

Here are my credentials:

Lehigh University class of 2009, major Information Systems Engineering (aka operations research), with a 3.32 cumulative and a 3.50 major GPA.

Since that was a crap performance (because I couldn't find work with it in the fall of 2008/spring 2009), I went to Rutgers to get a master's in statistics. I graduated with a 3.81 GPA. I thought this would prove that I'm not worthless, but apparently the market is telling me that all of that education is worth $0.00.

I'm looking to get in on the quant side of things, or the trading end (or quant trading, if anyone would take me).

I know that the job market is garbage, and it's "not my fault" and all of those other talking points about the recession, but it is my problem.

Since the big banks aren't giving me the time of day (Morgan Stanley rejected me for its quantitative full time associate program, and I bet that the other banks would do the same considering how many people are out of work, talent flooding the markets, yadda yadda), I'm wondering if anyone knows any other route to getting my foot in the door on Wall Street.

Thanks for any advice.
