Hi Tommy,
Don't let some of these negatives responses get to you. Some people work well with their hands others better using their brains. But I will say that you should respect these guys despite the comments because when you start your career most of your knowledge will come from the guys that work mechanics and know the job blindfolded. Just think of new doctors.
Employment is bad in the UK right now, but some companies are still hiring and Feb/ March is when the big companies start the recruitment process.
You still will be considered for the next intake of graduates, but justify what you have been doing these months. Companies understand that it is tough. You have a degree so well done. Your degree can get you into a lot of professions but it seems like aviation is for you.
Think of which sector you want to work in: do you want to work in an airline, a manufacturing company or any overhaul facility. What's your fav subject? Don't rule out the small companies either because they show how the company works as a whole and you will experience different areas of the business. Go to recruitment fairs and speak to your universitiy career advisor.
Good luck
