I bust my butt, so I think anything I think I should have, should be negotiable.

I really think you have the wrong attitude about this. Your first job is rarely your last. Why? cause you usually can move up in the world faster by changing jobs every now and then. Most people fresh out of school would jump on any semi-descent opportunity that comes there way. You have little to no real world experience. Any company that hires you is taking a risk. Sure you may have a ton of book smarts, but I've seen some of the biggest failures in the work place come from these people that have amazing grades and what not. Job experience is worth more than any degree. You are not going to get some dream job right out of school. That'll come years down the road after you have many years of actual experience. You need to put your ego away.
