re: Need suggestions for a grad degree

I just never liked it; it never clicked with me. Got pushed into it by parents and by the time I realized I could choose something else, I was almost done anyways so I just went ahead and finished the degree. I've always been a jack-of-all-trades, kind of person, decent at a lot of stuff but not good at one thing. I have no idea what one thing I want because I can never focus on just one thing.

What is "it"? What are you doing now?

For example, if you're working for JC Penny's and hate it, then maybe it isn't business but the kind of business. Would you be happier in health administration where your work in business is going towards the healing of the sick?

Or maybe you would rather work for a non-profit that does charity work?

Or maybe you're working for a tech company in a cubicle and would rather work in the music industry?

Or maybe you hate business entirely and want something else? Maybe you want to teach high schoolers and coach football?

You could get an MA in rhet/comp with a business undergrad. Teach community college. Coach the neighborhood soccer team on the side. Not a lot of money there, but that makes some people happy.

Maybe you're willing to start all the way over. Forget the business degree, transfer your credits and complete an engineering degree. Go fix light bulbs for the power company or make sure the city bridges are doing okay.

You've got to provide some details not just for us to help you here but for yourself.

Your "I have no idea what I want" is normal for young people today. But you need to look at what you do enjoy doing, ask what careers can tap into that, and then pursue it.

Well you certainly came to the right place - I hope that's obvious from the responses so far and I hope you appreciate it.

You should join the military and serve your country. Go be an officer and lead young troops in defending the USA.

Everything thing that this guy said is on point.

Business isn't a field, it can be applied to almost any field, though.

What do you do now?
