How to get started with my post-undergraduate life?

Asked by chubbychu (145points) September 16th, 2010

Hello Fluther! I just wanted to ask you a question.

I feel like I’ve graduated from college with no real marketable skill. I’ve been back and forth in my mind about where I am in life and am just absolutely driving myself insane with the fear that my future is insecure.

I was a hospitality, tourism, and event management major and compared to a scientific major, like engineering or something, finding a high paying job right out of college or even 10 years later seems absolutely out of sight.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had lots of great internships during school and have cultivated a pretty good résumé. However, when I’m looking for jobs, I’m constantly asking myself “can I even do this job?” “Do I want to be working front desk at a hotel forever?”

I’d love for some advice from people that have been down this path before. I’m also considering going back to school for another degree in a different field. But that seems like a step backwards into the right direction.
