OP- you do realize there are millions of grownups who earn a living doing something other than accounting, teaching or law, right?

Don’t spend money on grad school applications- let alone grad school- with a vague sense of what you don’t want to do. Spend the money when you find something you are passionate about.

Agree that reaching out to alums to start informational interviews is a good way to start. And there are probably hundreds of jobs you’d be good at where they won’t care about your transcript. Event planning/hospitality/sales/PR…

Don’t compound your first mistake with a second degree in something you don’t want to do.
