[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]thanks for the suggestions everyone.

My biggest problem is I don't know what I want to really DO still. I have been taking whatever jobs people throw at me because i need to pay bills and I hope i will get promoted or do something else but nope. Nothing works out. I also have social anxiety which gives me amor anxiety so I end up underperforming everywhere I go.[/quote]

What kind of stuff did you for fun in college (meaning clubs, etc.)?  What do you like about the jobs you do have?

I was an English major too.  I've been working for associations most of my career -- which requires a lot of organizational and communications skills, but also the ability to see problems from a lot of different angles.  I think that a lot of the work I did in my English courses -- especially looking at literature from a variety of viewpoints -- help me in my work today.

Also, there's a great FB page called Dear English Major that provides people like yourself inspiration and tips on what to do with that degree.[/quote]
