I don't know what I want to do with my life, at all. I'm sitting on a 3 year old degree in business management and no solid "real world" expreience to back it up...at least that's what interviewers tell me when they pass me over for positions I know I can do. I mean, why does one need 2 years experience for an ENTRY LEVEL position?? I've since decided I'm going to try my hand in the IT field. After all, I designed my web page, I'm either on a computer or fixing my or someone else's computer issues, and darn it I love computers. What's the problem, you ask? For one, I can't find a school that's going to teach me what I need to know in a hands on environment in a reasonable amount of time. I don't want another bachelor's degree and the master's programs I've looked into either require a CS degree or significant work experience. I'm not interested in paying a couple thousand dollars to be taught how to pass a certification exam. I want to be taught what I need to be successful in the real world. I would teach myself, but I've found if you don't have the job experience to back it up, you may as well not know anything. Y'all, I'm tired and frustrated and I don't know what to do next.
**SIGH**
OK, I feel a little better now. All comments/encouragements/"girl-quit-whining- there-are-millions-of-people-worse-off-than-you's" are welcomed an appreciated! I'm going to bed now. Love Y'all!!

I agree with you kelli about the IT field. I was in slump, and was thinking about what to do about my career. Currently I am in school but I work full-time. I have been back and forth with my majors and the things I am passionate about. I am not passionate about computers, But dag nab it, I can create a good web page. I thougt about Web design, but like you I do NOT have the thousands of dollars to attend an IT school, just to be able to pass the exams. and even studying for the exam on your own my help, it still cost, fingers and toes to pay for the exams. My Aunt has always told me, YOU can't get anywhere without taking risks. But I'm always hesitant, because I know that in the next few months I'll be wanting to do something else.
But the best advice I can give is, See what you're good at
See what you're passionate about, and try to combine the two.
That works pretty often. And that's for anyone who are having the Career blues.
