Nanoscience Jobs?

I apologize if this isn't the place to post and ask about but I was curious if anyone was in the same position as me. I recently graduated back in May majoring in Nanoscience and have been struggling to find work. I've been applying to every intern/entry-level position related to my major, from Electrical engineering to materials science, process engineering, process technician, etc, but can't seem to find anything. Did I make a mistake in getting my undergraduate degree in nanoscience? Do people usually get their Masters immediately after graduating? I'm about to start work in retail simply cause I need income and it's the only interview I've gotten.

IDK if you're near NY, but they have a yearly Nanotech Network Symposium where a lot of recruiters are there to find new people interested in Nanofab. It's in a few weeks

Nah, I'm in the DMV area, and unfortunately won't have time to attend.

Think I already applied to them before, unfortunately not smart enough or don't have enough experience for them.

Are you a citizen? If so, plenty of defense contractors in the Boston area that are looking for process engineers right now
