I love to work

I love to work. I don't hear a lot of people say this but I can honestly say I love to work. I love feeling like I accomplished something, helped someone, furthered my own financial cause (pay off debt!!), and completed a task. I love to learn, I love to help, I LOVE to work. The problem with this is: nobody wants me to work for them.
I think there could be an assortment of reasons for this, a different reason for every job that has rejected me. However, I can safely say a minimum of 50 jobs have rejected me since December. That's a lot. The one person they all have in common as an applicant being me...so what am I doing wrong? There has GOT to be something. The one thing about at least half of them that I cannot get past is: I am over qualified. WHY would they not want to hire someone that has MORE than enough experience and school for the job?!?!?! WHY?!?!?! And that might also be the problem. Maybe I should leave out that I have a Bachelor's and downgrade it to an Associate's degree to make people feel better.
Or MAYBE I am not friendly enough. I need to get out in the community and meet everyone until someone wants to give me a job.
This city is the worst city I have ever lived in. Hands down.

"Over qualified" is corporate speak for "We think you will want to be paid more than we can afford and we don't want to know whether we are right"
