My story:
Age: 25 Sex: Female
Graduated college with Bachelor of Science. Have no interest in my college major (forestry) whatsoever, but continued on because I wanted to graduate.
Now I find myself stuggling from temp job to meaningless temp job each one less satisfying than the last.
I'm broke, with student loans to pay back. I live in Austin TX.
Likes: Computers (not programming though); Outdoors (but not 100 percent of the time); Music (but I cant play or sing); Dogs and Cats; helping people that want to help themselves; organizing
Dislikes : Stupid customers (customer service/retail food service etc); Telephones (call center crap)
I need a job that actually requires intelligence and drive and a college education!
help, i'm frustrated

Congratulations on your achievement!!!!
Having people skills will make you a lot of money by being a bartender or dealer or cocktailwaitress for the mean time untill you figure it out. If you wouldn't mind, get a Master's in something you do like and go from there.
You should know that the Federal Govt and State and local govt will snatch you up with your degree. Go online and look for something you are interested in. You do have to start out from the bottom and work your way up.
BTW, you will meet "stupid" people throughout your lifetime, it's better to find patience now and deal with it before its too late.

Maybe you could become a pilot? That requires an education. You seem smart enough. You can explore the world and listen to music while you do it. Or encourage your co-pilot to sing to you. LOL. Although you can't bring a pet with you on an air plane.

I had the same problem...what'd I do, you might ask? I went back to school...again. It sucks almost being thirty and still pursuing my career, but I know what I'm going to do is going to be fulfilling. Keep on exploring your options, don't be in a hurry to decide or you might be like a lot of the miserable drones out there...save yourself, besides you're still young! Have fun in the process!
Oh, and by the way, if you go back to school, you can defer your loans (of course!). Go to vet school maybe?

Have you considered getting a job at the University of TX? I bet they have many departments and a large workforce, with opportunities for growth and chances to move around as you learn more about what you'd like to do.

Maybe you can read the PARACHUTE book. It should help you figure out what you really want to do if you take it seriously. I got the book but I haven't finished reading it because I'm getting lazy...
But it might help. =)
