The struggle in finding that perfect job (while staying true to yourself)

It has been over a year, and I am yet to find a job that suits me. Sending out resume's and cover letters just isn't getting me anywhere; not even a job interview. Always updating and making sure my resume and cover letter is in top shape, but it doesn't matter. I keep making adjustments, and nothing happens.

I don't want to be stuck washing dishes in a restaurant, or being a cashier at a grocery store. I know what I want, and I know what I am capable of. It's the fact that employers need to see facts on paper that you know how to do someting; that's right university/college degree. For me, this isn't happening. My dad makes to much money for me to qualify, and he won't pay for me to go, so ya, that's right I am really screwed!

I've tried lowering my standards as to what kind of job I want for right now. However, it isn't working. Doesn't seem to matter what I am looking for, I am not good enough. This really sucks because I am in a huge rut; and I don't know if I will ever be able to get out.
