What kind of jobs should I be applying for with my current experience and education?

I’m currently trying to look for a job. It could be part-time, full-time, retail, office, I don’t really care as long as it pays at least 10/hr (so I can pay my bills). For the past two months I’ve filled out about 20–25 applications. Most are for jobs at shops in my local mall, target, walmart, panera, but I haven’t heard back from anyone. At first I thought it was because no one is really hiring right now, but then I thought that maybe my references and experience might be creating the appearance that I’m “over-qualified”.

Here are the following things I usually put on my application. After reading everything, would you recommend I apply for other kinds of jobs, or should I focus on things I did back in highschool (until I finish my degree)? :

I have 4½ years of college, but I haven’t finished my BA degree (in English) yet. I’ll probably be done in about 2 years.

I had an internship last Summer as a camp photographer, but I currently don’t own a personal DSLR.

I’ve been a cashier at several different retail places as well as a couple food services.

I’ve worked as a student library assistant for two different university libraries.

and I’ve never been fired. :)
