I don't know what I expect - or how much.

I have a job but that's all the congratulations I give myself. Even if it pays okay, even if I get benefits, even if I can afford to live away from home... it's not enough. It's not what I majored in college - not even close to my field of study.

I am a secretary... with a college degree in Creative Writing and Business, as well as having professional computer skills in Graphic Design and Page Layout.

What am I doing in this office? (On the other hand, I'm lucky enough to have this job that gives me health benefit when other alumni I see working in the public library or the book store.)

Still, I feel utterly like a complete failure. And I don't have a clear sense of what direction I want to go. I want to go to grad school, but I don't know what I want to study. Where and in what industry should I direct my skills?

Uncertain about life, please help.

I can totally relate. I am very creative and always find myself in an office, then I feel like a loser becaue I am not doing what I want and I am embarrased to be seen in my office clothes in which I feel I look old and like a fat geek instead of my sexy (not too sexy) but cool looking clothes with my hair straitened and hot. Then I feel bad about how I can't get to where I want to be. I think go for the creative job that will make you feel good and you will be doing what you love and I am sure you will make just as much if not more money and you will have your benefits and if you make enough you could always pay for your own benefits. I think I will take my own advice. Good luck!
