Graduating college but considering another field. Will I eventually be able to find a job?

I'm graduating college with a Bachelors in Business Management in December.  The job scene still isn't great and I know a lot of people with similar degrees who can't find work.  I'm considering going to work in the ND oilfields for a year or two.  They are paying about 100k a year with no experience although you have to work like crazy and housing scene isn't good.  I would save up and invest every dime possible with the ultimate aim to use the money to buy rental properties when I return.  It would be nice to have some easy money (easier than working for it at least) coming in for the rest of my life.

Question is, if I take 2 years off, is it likely that I will still be able to use my degree to find a business job?  I have no work experience.
