Sure, there exists 1 or 2 companies that would hire science grads, just as there exists 1 or 2 engineering firms that hire physics and chemistry majors. However, there are orders of magnitudes more science grads then there exists such jobs. As a result, companies are being flooded with thousands of resumes on a daily basis for <10 positions.
One thing I don't understand is that you wouldn't be supporting the OP if he were a liberal arts grad in something like communications or political science and would be telling him he should be happy he is getting paid at all. Why is science treated any differently? Most employers in industry view the two the same: useless and won't bring any profit to their company.
You could apply this logic to everything. Why stop at science? Crap, basically throw engineering and finance into your bubbling cauldron of despair, and you're essentially crapping all over everything offered at the university level.
And don't sit there and tell me that 2-year technician diplomas are the way to go either. That's a cop out. Those programs might fill a very immediate need, but almost always have major issues of their own, such as glass ceiling, low long-term pay and poor retention.
