Nothing...you can't do anything practical with your degree because it is too vague, and you don't have enough experience.  \n\nDo one of three things:\n\n1. Go to grad school\n2. Intern/Volunteer where you think you could use your degree\n3. Get a job doing something completely unrelated

There are also other options - You could get a bachelor's in general studies or humanities. You also mentioned that the IT industry is not for you, but what about other industries? A business degree can be applied to almost every industry and it also gives you the option of starting up your own company. It seems that your desire to go back to school and get your bachelor's is really what's driving you here and you should definitely go for it without thinking twice about it. A bachelor's degree in whatever area is something that employers look for and expect. I have seen successful corporate managers with bachelor degrees in arts or history. So, go back to school, talk to your counselor and don't worry about your major. If you find something you love, then that'll be great but meanwhile just look at this whole process as a self-discovery journey and an employment tool.

Not a hard question but a tough choice.   If you enjoy a lot of people interaction in the workplace and helping others, go with human resources.  If you want to help society, go with Criminal Justice but understand the downside of such a career, such as inherent danger, rapid burnout and rejection from others.  If you want to make money period and try get ahead, go with business.  All these careers have great location possiblities, vary in job security and don't require a lot of technical knowledge unless your business aspirations need computer expertise.

I have a B.S. (physics) and a J.D. (law). I found that my physics degree has served me well. Other science majors in my law school class also did very well.\n\nMy experience as a former practicing physicist, former science teacher, and now attorney is that a MSc in the same natural science field as you BSc doesn't mean much - either go for the Ph.D. (which is such an investment that you are more or less committed to teaching or research), or use your B.Sc. either alone or in combination with a degree in a different or complementary field.\n\nMBA's vary dramatically in quality and prestige -  I think an MBA from a top notch school right after your BSc will serve you well. Otherwise, consider either getting the MBA later after you decide on a career, or consider possibly a complementary science degree (perhaps engineering/applied technology/management information systems?)

Understand one thing about a degree, employeers are not really concerned about the field of study, unless it is education, nursing, or social services field.  To most employeers the degree simple identifies that you are able and willing to start and finish something, which says a lot in todays society, so go get a job doing something that you enjoy.  Go into law enforcment, become a teacher with a lateral entry possition.  Have fun and make money

There are a million things you can do with an English lit degree.  Teaching.  Copywriting. Editing. Publishing. Adversiting. Marketing.  You could use your bachelor degree as a springboard for law school.  Don't listen to the retards you tell you to major in business or journalism because those are the only practical options.  Do what you love and you'll find something to do with it.

I just got my bachelor's in criminal justice. If you're into it, you can go to police academy and get in some sort of police department or work for a prison or jail. I'm going for my masters because I don't want to do law enforcement. It seems that law enforcement is all you can do with an associates or bachelors. It's a great degree though. I love it. Good luck!

Law school is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life.  And I have a child that I birthed naturally.\n\nAnd after law school is the Bar exam.  Some states fail a higher percentage than they pass.\n\nIf you don't like to read, forget about it.\n\nOh, and unless that bs you're good at means Bachelor of Science, you might need a degree first.

You didn't mention your area of concentration, but a business degree is probably one of the most versatile degrees you can earn. Find something you are interested in and start applying. Most colleges and universities have tests which might help you to decide on a career path. These tests are usually available at no charge to students. One is called the strong test. It is basically a preferences test. Since you recently graduated, they may be able to give you one of them and provide some guidance. With your degree, you could get into a management or leadership track with any number of retailers or fast food restaurants. Pay with many of these programs is pretty good. Depending on your area of interest you may consider Home Depot, Lowes, McDonalds, Wendy's, Walmart, Kmart or Sears. This is only a short list of those companies who are most likely to have management track programs for those with a college degree. Most of these companies have a website which should provide information on career opportunities. Some other areas you may consider are transportation and logistics. Trucking companies are always in need of dispatchers and operations people. Warehousing is a growing area and there are a lot of opportunities available. Advertising agencies and public relations agencies are another area where you could utilize your degree. Ad agencies have opportunities for media buyers, research, billing and accounting and other operations functions. PR agencies will use people in dealing with media, newsletters, etc.,

Most people with that degree stick with the social work field.  But, you can do anything that interacts with people.  For example, you can use your "people skills" degree for a customer service career....like in hotels or the travel industry.  \n\nPerhaps, continue education, then you can teach either subject, be a school counselor or keep going and get Phd and be a therapist.

Sounds like you'd be a good teacher!!  You might want to also think of behind the scenes politics - policy development, operations, etc.  You could also become a lawyer!  You have lots of options!

Write a dissertation on why countries that take their legal systems from British Common Law have a more vibrant stock market than those who don't.\n\nThere is a finance literature on this phenomenon -- but I doubt that there is a literature on it in your field.  The advantage to doin g it is that you might actually be able to get a good job out of it -- if you are interested in securities law.  It would be silly to do a thesis that didn't help you get a job.\n\n\nIf you don't like that idea, then think about what kind of law you would like to do.  Approach some lawyers who are working in that field and ask them for ideas.

Get experience with a real job in your field. It will make you far more employable when you do graduate.

It's a good foundation for graduate school, or law school.\nIt's a good starting point for careers in law enforcement, probation/parole supervision, etc.\n\n-OR-just the fact that it is a college degree, it is evidence of your basic education and your ability to complete a task , so-even if you are interested in a field not related to law/sociology the degree won't hurt you at all..

if you are unsure what you want to do, consider starting college at a local 2 year school, take your basic classes, history math schience and see which classes interest you.  it will give you a chance to look around at different majors for less money then a university.  sometimes things change - i started as a pre law student - that was boring - then i tried paralegal - even more boring - i went to general education (just taking the required basic classes) even more boring - finally i switched to criminal justice - and graduated with a 2 year degree in that - then i decided i did not want to go into law enforcement - so i went to work a few years i worked in a call center - ran a high rise apt complex - (made good money at both of those jobs)traveled the world even lived overseas on the beach in south africa - and now i am back in school to finish out my bachelor degree - i started back to be a teacher - for literature - then when i started looking at classes to take - i decided history classes looked more fun to me then the litt ones - so i swtiched - i am now a double major history & education and a i love it - it is a lot of hard work - but it is work i enjoy & what i am good at!!!!  take your time in deciding - i am almost 30 and i am just figuring it all out!!!
