You need to look for a good company that's hiring I.T. Support, Network support, hardware support or even help desk. Look for good companies that have room to move up in.

I started doing hardware support (entry level) in 2000 making $24,000 a year - today I make $75,000 with benifits.

Don't think about retail stores, they'll think of you as over-qualified and asking for alot of money. Your best bet right is support sites like call centers, contractors, and basic tech support jobs. A good place to apply is careerbuilder.com believe it or not. I get calls from random companies and businesses about basic support jobs and seasonal contract work (aka, tax firms and stuff). Make sure you have a good resume to submit and keep up to date on the postings. You'll be surprised on what you are qualified for with your degrees.
