How does one go about getting a good career?

Sorry to be the one to break the bad news, but if you went to college to get a specific job you wasted your time. If you want to go to school for a specific career you should have gone to a career college. If you went to a junior college or university, you'll have to figure it out along the way like the rest of us. If you're interested in acting, what about screenwriting? If you want to go back to school, pick something you're interested in. With your degree now you should look into teaching English in a foreign country if you like to travel, or writing grant letters for a business. Face it you'll be overqualified for a lot of jobs you'll get offers for but at the same time realize that if you don't have job experience of any kind, you're screwing yourself over as well. The more time that passes between when you graduate college and when you start working will have employers questioning what you were doing with your time, so hurry up and decide if you want to work or go back to school. Good luck!
