I am graduating college in the spring of next year, and I am in a very tight bind. My major is mathematics, but I suddenly realized during my winter vacation that I have no bloody clue what sort of career I intend to pursue that degree. I haven't any special type of training that would allow me to pursue any career in particular; it's mostly the case that a lot of jobs I can do with a math degree require something else on the side, whether be it experience in programming, financial analytics, or proof that I have passed a certain number of some tests. In any case, I have none of these, so this is a definite indicator of how much trouble I will be after graduation. I worry that I will not be able to find work, let alone work that makes use of my mathematics degree. But what scares me most of all is the fact that I have no direction in my life at the mo'. I could go "Oh, woe be me! Where is my goddamn life going?" and the like, but I wouldn't even know the answer to my own rhetorical question that I might ask myself on some day after graduation. I don't know what I want, but I do know what I do not want: that is, to continue living in this state with its jacked-up house prices, exorbitant living costs, and the like. With no direction in life, I cannot possibly hope to pursue a career I might enjoy, because I wouldn't know what career that might be, yet. Additionally, I cannot think of any employer, let alone one who would want to fly me across the Pacific Ocean, who would wish to hire someone like me. In short, I'm in a really bad place right now--emotionally, anyway. I'd like to move out, but I just cannot see that happening anymore the closer my graduation date gets. I'm afraid of having pursued my degree for nothing if I chose a career that didn't even require it, but what scares me more is not finding work at all, with only two years of data entry experience. It's been a source of lots of my anxiety nowadays, and I don't know what I'm even doing anymore... I don't think it is advisable to make any rash decisions, like just moving to some place without a job waiting for me there. At the same time, I feel like I'm a prisoner in my house most of the time. So in short, I know I want to move out, but I don't know what it is I'm going to be doing once I do so. As you can see, I have too many things I must figure out, and I have a time limit in which I must do so. The most important thing I must figure out is just the one question: "What do I want to do?" I figure that once I figure that out, things will hopefully at least begin to fall into place. In any case, what kind of advice would you have for someone like me?

I must have these answers.
