Maybe it's not the right firm? Focus on why you decided to go that path in the first place. Every path leads us somewhere when I stated my Job with a fortune 500 company 8 years ago I became friend with a women in the new hire training program we kept in touch and 6 years later she became my Mary Kay Consultant never in a million years did I think I would sell make-up and now I have been able to stay home with my two children and supplement an income while having fun.
I'm sure you have heard this before so forgive me but your young with your whole life ahead of you some people twice your age are still trying to figure out what to do at 40 I have learned learning from every experience in life and finding the positive in every situation really does make all the difference. Good Luck!!
Focus on the good about your career and NETWORK!!!! It's not always about knowing the answers but who you know.

Since you just graduated from college you have free access to a resource that will change your life.It's the student placement or career office at your college.Make an appointment to see the director of the student placement.Explain your current employment problem and insist that the office give you an an interest and aptitude test.These two tests will objectively reveal what your best work skills are and what type of careers are of most interest to you.Then the director will be able to make some specific recommendations for you in the form of new careers to pursue.By taking this simple action,you will find that your life will be changed dramatically.

Keep looking and trying different things until you find what you want to do, what makes you happy. Most people today change professions several times. Part of it is the opportunity and part is lifelong learning. Sometimes there is an economic reason. No biggee. Very few people really know what they want to do with their whole lives. Ask a local bartender, waitress, or store clerk. We all do what we like to do until we don't.

I don't know; I haven't gotten past the hard stages yet.

Seriously, though, it looks like you are doing pretty well right now. Now's the time to really meditate on what you really enjoy doing, and are good at, and pursue that as best as you can.
