  entry-level environmentalists

  Apple, I feel your pain.  I graduated with a B.S. in Natural Resource Management in 2003, and even though I had a ton of field and office experience, I couldn't find a job.  I took several environmentally/ecologically related internships to gain more experience, and supplemented that with some retail work until I headed back to grad school last year.  But -- you don't have to do that.  I do know people who just hung in there while pursuing positions at non-profits they respected.  It took a few months, and a lot of work (volunteering, making contacts, etc.) but it worked.  A lot of them pursued low-level or admin positions just to get a foot in the door.

  Some schools offer career services to their alumni well after graduation, and I really recommend starting there.  Or just talking to your professors/peers from school, making contacts with other working alumni or colleagues through them.
