Look for something you would be willing to do. You would have a hard time doing something you hate for the rest of your life. I'm curious to find out why you can't do what you love though.

Unfortunately passions don't always translate well into careers.  If you are about to finish college, then I would suggest trying out a few jobs and see which ones fit you.  There is no reason why you must choose a job and stick with it for the rest of your life.  Once you have a good idea what the jobs are really like (and they are almost never what you imagine them to be) then you can settle into a career.  But always remember that you should love your job, if you hate it, you need a different job (not necessarily a different career, just a different job).  And it's ok to not be able to make up your mind, your life ends up being more interesting.  And you can politely remind everyone to mind their own business, it's your life and you have to live it.

What you need is a career that promotes glamor, or a glamorous career any which way it has to be in the public view. You either want to be seen or you want to see or hear people, in other words get a career that will satisfy those needs, it maybe difficult to achieve or let alone satisfy that hunger of attention, in any case this is the path you have to take or else your life will feel a vacuum. Actually as i see it you know what you want, trying to pinpoint what path it is, is the problem. Bottom line choose something you're really good at and as if you're just playing and or enjoying while doing it. Have fun, and God Bless

I would pursue what it is that you love.\n\nIf you are just doing something for money, you aren't going to be committed to doing it well.  That means that you don't get the best paying jobs--and you may even lose your job because of poor performance.  This is all assuming that you are interested enough to actually complete the degree.\n\nIf you have a love for something, you will find a way to support yourself doing it--because you have that passion that will lead you to excel.  Passion is worth something far greater than money.\n\nFollow your heart.

You may not know what you want to do but it is likely you know what you DON'T want to do.  That is a beginning.  Next take a look at what you do with your spare time.  What hobbies are you interested in.  Computers? Photography? Games? Stamp or Card Collecting?  Look for an association between your 'hobby' and what could possibly be your 'career'.  There are many jobs/careers out there that you may not have thought about before.  You know what you don't like.. you are half way there!

Depends on what you would enjoy learning and doing. For me? The option is none of the above, because I would not be happy in any of the careers these degrees can lead to.

do voluntary work involving human behavior.  That will give you relevant experience to seek work in your chosen field, and you will find out if it really is your passion.

Why don't you try to do something outside of work to keep your passion alive?\n\nTry a hobby, a craft or explore something you have always wanted to such as painting, water skiing, sky diving, learning Russian, or whatever strikes your fancy.\n\nLife is short.  Explore it all.

Life is opportunity. Find what you enjoy doing and figure out how to make money doing it. Be true to yourself and stop trying to please others. Only when you can be truly happy with yourself will you know that you have chosen the right path. You can not rely on others to chose for you.

you know, it's ok not to know what you want to do for sure. try different things. work for different companies. see what you like doing. what you see yourself doing for the rest of your life. it should be something you're good at, enjoy doing, and won't get bored with in a few years. it's good to have a general education or a degree in business or education. you can do a lot with that. and remember, you're never too old to go back to school. and you can always change jobs and proffessions every couple of years, if you get bored easily. how about starting your own business? there's a lot of room for thought here. good luck.

Try a few different jobs and see which you like better.  Volunteer in various capacities.  Do interest and aptitude surveys and questionnaires.  Most importantly, be open to new things and be flexible in your thinking.  Young people entering the job market today can expect to have several careers throughout their working lives.  \n\nOur daughters who are now 28, 30, 31, and 33 are already into second and third careers.  And I am retired, a grandma, and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

the only way to figure this out is by figuring what YOU want to do in life. It's kind of hard to figure out aftre just finishing college, you have resposibilities now, rent, debts and so on. The key here is to find out what you really enjoy doing. that can come about from many different ways. If you're like me, I found out what I wanted to do in life by.....figuring out what I DIDN'T want to do. Had lots of crappy jobs that lead nowhere. took me awhile to figure out that I didn't know what I wanted and that's why i career hopped to various jobs. Look at what you find interest in, not what makes a lot of money or what your parents would like to see you do but what you find interests in. doesn't have to be in accounting either. I grad with a B.A. in English Writing and I'm now a loan officer. either look for what you want to do or just pick something quick and see if you like it.

Go over your finances and determine if you can sustain your current lifestyle until the (advancement) comes your way.  Or, determine if you are willing to reduce your standard of living for a while.  If either of the two are doable for you, congratulations!  Not many people these days are doing what they love.

Flip Burgers. \n\nNo, actually the best thing to keep in mind when you conducting a job search is what you WANT to do.  The answer to that question will inevitably have more to do with your happiness and success than what you are QUALIFIED to do.  Most employers are more interested in what you've DONE and what you WANT TO DO than WHAT YOU'VE STUDIED anyway.  \n\nThink about what you like doing, where you'd like to be five/ten years from now, and what choices you'd like to have.  Don't let your degre determine what you can do.  People change jobs every 3-5 years and careers every 7-10, on average.  That you have a degree is much more important than what it's in specifically.  \n\nThe best advice I can give you is that whatever you choose, do something that will give you more options in the future (as opposed to fewer).  You never know how the circumstances in your life will affect your interests down the road.
