I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -

I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.Comment

Government jobs are quite hard to get because there is a lot of competition for them.
"I've been looking for jobs in copyediting (on the rare occasions they don't demand 2-3 years copyediting experience, familiarity with style X, obscure program Y, etc.), publication, editing, general stuff like that"
What kind of copyediting and all that junk do you want to do? Newpapers? Novels? Textbooks? Check with companies that do these kinds off things. That can help you narrow your search while opening up opportunities you didn't consider before.
Did you do any internships (which I highly recommend for all college students)? Does your school have career counselors?
Right now, your job is to find a job. Put in the hours each day. Try sending out at least one application each day. Fine tune your resume and cover letters. Practice interviewing. As you said, consider taking something below your expectations just to get some work and experience, while you look for something better. Perhaps a temp agency. And remember, it takes time, and persistence will pay off in the end.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect.

Good call - any paying roles in "actual" companies always looks good on a young person's CV.I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before.
