writes: Hi Everyone,I graduated from uni two years ago with a degree in English and Media. Since then, I've been working for a large bank dealing with shares - this is not suited to my interests and is certainly not my forté.However, there are 'perks,' such as free shares and an annual bonus (which is on my birthday!)and this financial stability is making me reluctant to bite the bullet and look for something else!I love writing (factual accounts and articles) but I don't have the first clue how to get into this without spending more money on further qualifications. I also cannot work voluntarily for, say, a newspaper as I don't have the time or money! I have toyed with the idea of teaching English, as words and literature are my passion and I'd love to inspire, but am unsure if I could control a class of kids!I guess my question is, how can I realise what I truly want to do - what help is out there? I hate having this degree and not working to my true potential because I'm so indecisive!Thanks for your help. Xx Reply to this Question

Why dont you start by trying to get hold of/ going to your local job center and telling them what degrees you hold and seeing what sort of jobs they have matching your potential. They should come up with a few jobs you may be intrested in.
You could even look through the search engins on the net to see if there is a job that takes you fancy.
Its all trial and error but on day if you look hard enough yo may find the perfect job
Hope that helps
take care
