I’m stuck and my degree feels useless

Currently I work from home making $14.75 an hour at a call center job for a health insurance company and I absolutely hate it. Bad management, rude customers, we can’t go to the bathroom when we want, etc. But I can’t find anything else! I have a bachelors degree in health care administration. Graduated 2018. All of my experience is in call centers and retail. I’ve applied for entry level desk jobs making $13/hr and can’t get the job. Hotel reception, reception for dental offices, jobs like that. At the local hospital I’ve been applying for the SAME ENTRY LEVEL JOB since 2020. It’s always up to apply for and I never hear back. I’ve tailored my resume for each company showcasing how my experience will match up with their needs and nothing! I have 3 years of call center experience and like 10 months of retail. $13/hr is LOW…

I have a bachelors degree in health care administration. Graduated 2018. All of my experience is in call centers and retail.

At the local hospital I’ve been applying for the SAME ENTRY LEVEL JOB since 2020. It’s always up to apply for and I never hear back.

I’ve tailored my resume for each company showcasing how my experience will match up with their needs and nothing!

I have 3 years of call center experience and like 10 months of retail.
$13/hr is LOW PAY and I can’t even get those jobs with a degree.

I feel like a failure. It’s like a slap in the face every morning when I wake up because no matter how hard I try, I can’t find better. I feel so depressed.

I feel sick to my stomach because I feel like with a degree I should be making at least $15/hr but if I can’t get a desk job for a hotel I certainly can’t get a job that requires a degree.

Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you for reading!
