I have just received my bachelors degree and have so far only had small side jobs. When I'm looking online now, I don't even know where to start. I know that I would most likely be starting off low, but I am looking for an industry that would be cool to work in with increasing opportunities in the years to come. Does anyone have any advice for that?

I am currently in college and don't know what I want to do in life. My current major is nursing but I am a nursing assistant and I know I do not want to become a nurse, despite the good job prospects. It is just not my thing. However, what are the prospects for someone with the above degrees? And what kind of jobs could I work with degrees in those fields? Ok, but what about international studies?

I am currently in college, and can not see myself working anywhere else. I enjoy talking to all the different people I meet on a daily basis and just exploring my surroundings.

Do most people who major in a language start in high school? I've been taking French on and off and I've lived there. I would say I understand it pretty well and can speak well, but writing essays about literature would be hard for me. Sometimes I think I would like to get a degree in it, but I think to be effective people usually take it non-stop.

I can graduate with a Business Administration major after two semesters, but I think it would be hard to find a decent job with this degree, especially in this economy. I can graduate with a major in either Finance or Accounting, if I take summer semester. So, do you guys think it's worth taking an extra semester to major in Finance or Accounting? If yes, what is a better major in terms of finding a decent job?
