What to do if I don't know what to do after college?

I graduated college a year ago in the Office Administration General and Medical program at my local college. I took the summer off before truly trying to find a job. I've gotten a few interviews, but nothing concrete so I basically sit at home being unproductive with my life. Most places want me to be either bilingual or have at least a year or two of experience under my belt.

What do I do? I'm losing confidence in my skills and I'm constantly stressed out over the fact that I can't find a full-time job. My mother and father worry for me and I hate that I'm causing them so much concern over my future.

I have been considering returning to school to further my education in the office administration field. But recently my cousin had suggested the option studying something entirely new and different as opposed to office administration.

And I'm honestly torn. I'm even more stressed than before because I don't want to waste my parent's money. I owe them enough for paying for my initial tuition. But if my job prospects don't look up I will have to go back to school.

Personally, for a job, I wouldn't mind any job as long as I am content doing it. I don't have to particularly like it, but I don't want to absolutely hate it either.

So, should I go back to school to further my education or study for an entirely different degree? I'm so lost right now.

    U obviously clueless about ur life and future employment.

    GOT libraries where you live?

    Go spend some months years learning reading about how to figure out what you want to b when grown-up.

    It varies greatly depending on numerous unknowns.

    It varies greatly depending on where you live.

    Plenty of books on how to figure out What.

    Visit BLS.GOV/OOH for actual real world info on careers jobs in demand and pay good money.

    Poverty sucks after few years.

    Visit local pay scale sites for Demand and pay locally.

    Visit local community college for programs leading to actual employment and good paying jobs locally.

    Many paying 35k - 60000$ First year of working easily.

    Many with continuing employment.

    Start in libraries

    You need to research jobs that are in your field that don't require experience because they train new hires. They are out there!! If every job required experience then no one would get their first job after college in their related field of interest. ..get online onto job boards...find those jobs!!!!
