try getting a job in trade... you can buy and sell things to other countries since you speak different languages. i lived in germany for 6 months and worked here.....

Everyone is going to direct you to international business, which might be lucrative. Or you'll obviously hear open a language school, also a good obvious idea.
I am 41 and ALL my adult life I have been trying to decide what I want to do...without any luck.
Someone once told me to get a job I "don't mind." I liked that because its real.
The platitudes go: find your passion, or what do you like doing, what are you good at....
I have taken aptitude and career-interest tests and had counseling. I really hope you find your niche before 40.
If not, its a human thing, not a YOU thing, except you will have people telling you "what a waste" with your language skills. Worse, I bet YOU will hear "you could make a fortune with that," but they don't know where.
Here's a good money-making idea (I think). Use your language skills in the pharmaceutical industry. I know 2 people who were seling in that industry making alot of $. Ask around that industry and see what languages would pay the most. good luck!

Based on your description of your wide range of knowledge and languages you should check out the CollegeGrad.com website that offers a MAPP assessment that will asses what the real you is. what motivates you, your interests and talents for work. The results should be able to give a bit more guidance to helping you figure out where to go from here.

If you have a college degree why don't you look into the jobs that are associated with the area of your degree?

Try customer service with a call center, since you can speak so many different languages, it would be easy for you to market yourself on that selling point, as long as you are fluent in all five of those languages.

Otherwise try applying for a job that is related to your university degree that you received.

I can get you a job teaching English in Shenzhen, China (just outsideHong Kong) with a snap of the fingers if you've got a passport and can wheedle airfare and the visa expenses from your family.

You could probably get a job as a translator or bi-lingual telephone assistant -- you're going to need to be willing to relocate.

Do you have a serious boyfriend -- "have you thought about getting married?"

Did you get all the way through college without borrowing money? It's a great idea to borrow money now and go to graduate school.

Various states have programs to get qualified teachers to move to their state. You need about 18 hours of education credits but therse are often waived if you are working on them. Contact the state departments of education of the various states, they are often critically short of teachers in the upper midwest (North and South Dakota, for example).

Whatever you do -- do this first!-- cry yourself to sleep for a couple of nights because your dreams for your adult life are not going to come true and you are not going to skip happily off to work every day doing what you love. You've got to kiss that absurd socioeconomic fairy tale goodbye (which is hard) and forgive the manipulative dolts who foisted that concept off on you (which is very hard to forgive -- you'll have to forget, first). Life is much more like La Rochefoucauld's maxims than it is like Dale Carnegie and positive thinking. Plus ca change, plus ca meme chose, n-est-ce pas?

You can get a job in a lot of places! Hospitals need interpretors, embassy's, phone companies, big companies that cater to people all over the world.

You don't say what your degree is in, but you already have a great resume. Have one professionally done,, you will be glad you did.
