Answer 1

OK Shlane, thanks for the email. Here it is:
What did you go to school for?
Are you satisfied with your educational level?
Are there jobs for what you went to school for?
What the f*ck are you panicking about if you can afford to take a year off! Get REAL..............
Me, I joined the Marine Corps, received more education, got a pretty good bonus for 1982 ($18,000) because I have half a brain, served my country and had a really good f*cking time doing it. You know, travel to exotic and distant lands, meet plenty of interesting people and then kill them.
Then I got married, then divorced, then married again, bought a house, my wife and I had two kids, went back to school at night, got another degree, work all day, pay the bills, you get the picture.

Answer 2

Take a break and see where you want to live and work. You may need to move to get the job you want. After graduation live is the same, work, rent, food, etc. Work where you can until you find the job you want. As long as you are paying the bills and still having fun it is good.

Answer 3

You will get a job and life will go on..
..What I did was got a job in my field and kept going to school for a higher degree and learn so much about what I wanted in a job got two degrees and not in the same fields.

The first degree is to learn who you are and what you may want, the next is what you didn't know about yourself and and get a better job.

Answer 4

countless hours doing something you will soon learn to hate

lol

honestly, I would go to grad school, a BA/BS just isn't worth much these days
