By this time in your life you should have some idea of (1) things you LIKE to do, and (2) things for which you have a natural APTITUDE. They aren't necessarily the same, but there is probably some overlap. Sit down and make a list of each, then compare the two. See where one compliments the other, and think of ways they might relate to your degree, if at all. Unless you are leaning towards a technical field, don't get too hung up on the relevance of your degree. A very good friend of mine sells components used to operate nuclear power plants....but has a degree in history. Go figure! Very often a degree merely attests to the fact that you are reasonably well organized, you can work hard, and you can learn new things....nothing more.

Also, most recruiting firms will do the counseling for free, and have relationships with employers who are actively hiring. If they find you a job, their fee is typically paid by the employer.

There are many doors open for you. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and go find them.

Good luck!
