should i go to grad school?

i am a senior in college majoring in business management and i am simply stuck on the decision of whether i should go to grad school or try to find an entry level position. what should i do in the state of this economy? i have applied to over 20 jobs, went to numerous conferences to network where i had the opportunity of interviewing with three fortune 500 companies, and have done a non paid internship but i have had no luck so now i am considering going to grad school, but the only thing about grad school is i havent taken the gmat and i dont have more than 2 years of work experience. i still have time to take the gmat and i have a 3.6 GPA but idk this decision is so hard.

further information:

no student loans

can come back to live with parents

what is your advice for me? what should i do? what will be in my best interest in today's economy?

    I'd keep looking for work. Business grad programs really prefer real-world experience, and employers do, too; it's not necessarily going to be any easier for you to find a job when you get out if you're competing with classmates with more substantial resumes. Besides, if you've got no loans right now, you should really take advantage of the flexibility that offers you. (And 20+ applications is nothing. I think I sent out that many in my first two weeks of searching when I graduated, and that was when the economy was good. Just keep searching and networking. See if you can get your school's career office to connect you with some alumni.)
