Money isn't everything. Assuming that they are paying you enough that you won't go hungry... As long as the job that you are taking on will enhance your skillset, that's what you should be focusing on right now. You just graduated. Get your name established, well known in the industry, then you will have all the leverage in the field to get the salary you want.
As for negotiating skill.. think of a number that you want your salary to be. Be reasonable, and counter offer with that number. if you are the one that fits the job description, and they can't offer your number, the worse they can say is no, and the last offer still stands. If they say sorry, too bad, we don't want you to work here anymore. That means they can replace you with a snap of a finger. You probably don't want that job anyways.
