I should be graduating this year and I'm worry about getting jobs. I have no work experience right now. I'm working as a web developer but I dn't think it is related. What kind of jobs should I go for? Eventhough I have no work experience, what is the minimum wage I should settle for? I have the tendency to settle for any job to get experience but I think i should aim higher. My gpa is nothing special btw. I should of gotten an internship when I was a soph. or junior and now it is too late because I have a senior project to do.

It depends on where you live. If cost of living is higher, you'll need a higher salary, of course.
