Thank you for your replies, everyone. I was a bit frustrated when I wrote the post (as you can probably tell that was because I'd been having trouble sleeping, or I get to sleep fine but then I wake up after only a few hours.

Basically what it comes down to is that I feel like I can do anything if I could just get the chance. Ideally I'd like to be in publishing, or putting together newsletters, things like that. But like I alluded to, everyone seems to want Bill Gates-level experience and I don't have that.

So sometimes I feel like I should just get a certification to be a stenographer or something and just do away with all the ambiguity. That way when I apply for a job, it would be more like, "Can you do X?" "Why, yes I can!' "Great! You start Monday."

But then I feel like I'm getting too old to risk getting into something and finding I can't stand it. I don't know. I'm getting there but it's a long road.

If you can't find a way out geographically, try to recreate or improve on what you have. Sometimes volunteering can get you into an organization and a new job. Let yourself breathe a minute and walk back from the panic. Try looking at things from a different angle. Apply for jobs you never considered before...not way out there, but, possibilities. Go back to your college and talk with them about careers. I don't think you're alone in your frustrations. Maybe start a group here for other grads struggling to find meaningful employment...lay out who you are and see if there's some networking you can do. Show yourself in a positive light. It's OK to be frustrated but remember to share your skills/education/keep your resume in mind when you post. Who knows? Maybe someone on this site even has a job for you??? There's no telling. Please return and post so we can support your process/journey. Thanks for sharing!

what do you enjoy doing?

What about driving Uber or Lyft-I have a friend who left Corporate behind to do it. Be your own boss.
