Don't work at a job because you "make money." If you are passionate about what you do, work will be a blessing each day, and you will make money on top of it. You don't need to figure it all out in one day. Let it be a journey, and what you do this year might not be what you do next year, but find a job, keep your eyes open at those who hold positions over you and really evaluate what they do and how it fits you, and then decide what you want to do for the rest of your life. It isn't all about the money. It's about doing what you love.
This is all good advice. I think part of my problem is my obsessive need to plan: it's like I want to know now, I want to be done right now, and it scares me to think that I might work and work and never get anywhere. That's the anxiety talking and a touch of mania.
