I'm graduating this spring and I don't know what I'm going to do. There's only really one job I want to do and maybe a couple others I'd be fine with, my only problem is that there's either no positions available and even if there were I wouldn't be qualified. And the job I really want to do, you can't make money with it unless you're really really lucky.

I don't want to say exactly what it is, because frankly I'm embarrassed. But it's in the fine arts. I was going to try to start a website to increase my meager odds of success but I don't really know what to put on it...everything I think of to say sounds stupid and I'm afraid other people will think my design is stupid too. I don't know anything about designing a website and now I'm thinking I should have hired someone to do it for me, but I think it's too late.

I don't know what to do as a temporary job to make money either. I keep thinking that I should be able to get something better than minimum wage since I have three degrees, but maybe not. Anything I can think of, it's either impossible to get the job or there's some sort of physical reason why I can't do it (i.e. I have food allergies so I can't work in a restaurant or coffee shop. There's something wrong with my joints—arthritis? The doctors don't know—so I can't do anything too terribly physically demanding.)

I feel like there's no light at the end of the tunnel when I graduate and that the last seven years may have just been a waste. I get so depressed just thinking about it.
