| One year out of college and I still have no clue what I'm donig, help! So I graduated college exactly a year ago with a degree in Political Science. Like the lazy bum that I am, I screwed around and didn't take the job hunting thing seriously. I worked for a temp agency doing stupid jobs for a couple of months, then I got a job at an insurance company and quit after 4 days because I hated it so much. I had an interest in going to law school and then I got a job as a paralegal which made me NOT EVER want to go to law school.
So here I am, working a job I hate, doing something that has absolutely nothing to do with my major. I feel like I trapped at this job because the people are so nice to me that I think I would feel really bad if I quit. It would be different if the people sucked. If I quit, I don't even know what kinds of decent jobs to look for. I look on craigslist and stuff and it just seems like so many jobs want more experience than I have. I feel like I am in trouble because I am at a job where I barely have any important things to do and I barely think at all. It's exhausting and tiring. I just don't know what kinds of jobs I am qualified for. I sure as hell don't want to work for lawyers ever again. I just feel like I went to college for 4 years for no reason at all.
I'd like to go back to school and get my masters, possibly an MBA, but these programs want work experience and I don't know where to start when all I have is a Political Science degree, an internship for a state legislator, and a really sucky job as a Paralegal. Any career advice out there? |
