Regarding job, most colleges have some sort of work study program, where you can work at one of the college offices. That's what I did, through the tutoring center. The pay was small, but it's also manageable hours, and it was something I liked doing.
Additionally, the learning center at my undergrad college had a bulletin board for external tutoring opportunities (not current students). They'd call and leave their number, and anyone could take the info and contact them, and set up independent things. That's how I earned a lot of my money in undergrad.
Of course, Yuma has a point of looking into careers that you're actually interested in. For me, I new I was going to grad school pretty soon after I started, and already knew what I intended with my degree, so it wasn't as important to look into particular industries.
Edit: On the other hand, I had no savings when I graduated college, nor when I finished grad school.
