Graduate school, or get another bachelors?

Post Reply New Topic

Hi. I've had my bachelors almost a year now, and I can't decide what I want to do. I really don't wanna teach, but that leaves me with few options. I've been seeking direction through different advisors from various colleges. I'm either going to go into Library Science with a focus on information systems (I don't even know what I'd do with that) oooooooor I'm going to go back and get a WHOLE NEW BACHELORS in something useful. What do you think, does that last option sound ridiculous?

I don't really see the point in getting a second Bachelor's degree. I'd personally go for a Master's, because that's a higher level of accomplishment than a Bachelor's. But then again, I'm still in high school, so another opinion from someone who has had college experience like yourself might be more helpful.

Have you considered looking for a government job on the website...http://www.USAjobs.gov?

I have a family member who graduated with a bachelor's degree and did not want to teach, either...and then, went to college for a Master's Degree in Library Science. Boring!! All those advanced degrees and still unemployed!

If I were you, I would take any job that sounded interesting so I would have some kind of income to support myself and to be able to do "fun" things. Then, you will begin to have a clearer picture of what you want to do with the rest of your life. Colleges and universities will not be disappearing from the face of the earth any time soon...you can always go back to school if you discover in a couple of years that is what you truly want to do.

Do any jobs sounds interesting to you? This is always a problem I have. Most of what people want done in this world holds no interest for me, but often disgust.
