---GRADUATING COLLEGE---

go to law school man

in case you haven't already, you need to be looking through your school's career center, not just online.

and while i don't buy the whole "just do what you love, man" stuff, you do need to have SOME idea of what you'd be interested in. When you're just listing off any possible field where you could find employment, you're asking to be miserable.

not necessarily. you don't have to build your identity around your job. people, who do this, are usually boring people. they have no life.

four years of college and you're this much of a total washout? can't imagine why you'd be on a message board looking for advice...and finishing your post with " :( ". You sure seem like upper management material to me.

I hate to say it, but, all sarcasm (and douchebagginess) aside, he is somewhat right. Not about you being a washout, Im sure youre not. A four year degree isnt worth much these days and if you want a prayer of making over $80,000 (short of going into business for yourself), youre going to need to go to grad school, if you can. If not, then just do what you can with what you have.

What happens at $80,000/yr? Do people suddenly become happy and content with life?

And with just about three quarters of American adults lacing college degrees, how does having a B.A. on its own limit him so much?

In 2006, 27% of American men and women over the age of 25 had at least a bachelor's degree.

They'll find your aptitudes. And they'll also find what you're *not* good at, which can eliminate a lot of potential careers that would probably not be fulfilling or enjoyable. A little pricy (not terrible), but worth it.

[No, I don't work for them and never have. Neither does/has any family member or friend of mine.]

And the thing about your career office is good advice, too. You're paying those people (with your tuition/fees) and should get your money's worth. A person with no idea of what to do after graduation is *exactly* the kind of person they're best equipped to help.

You DO have options.
