No matter how exciting or interesting a job seems, if you don't like what you are doing, it will be boring. Even jobs that seem boring and mundane are exciting to someone. The questions you need to ask yourself is: 1) What do I find exciting and would keep my interest; and 2) what would it take in terms of money to truly be comfortable (be honest with yourself here – it doesn't always take a lot of money to be comfortable).

If you are extremely materialistic and in a job for money, you will probably never find it exciting since, as you say, it's a job and not "play."

If you find International Business exciting regardless of the money, then go for it (btw, all that "theory" is only theory because you are reading it, it does truly translate to the real world and stops being theory when you use what you have learned). Sometimes the perks of a job outweigh the monetary aspect (imagine, new cultures, speaking different languages with different people, immersing yourself in exotic places and people). On the other hand, I know auditors who find the theory of risk-identification exciting, even though to me it is boring sin eall they do is crunch numbers through multi-variate equations all day. Again, to each their own.

Edit:

And by the way, there is nothing wrong with a first-year general education at a local community college or yoru first year – many companies are looking for liberals arts folks due to the concentration on a well-rounded eduction rather than a specific major. Just don't take all the really general ed stuff like english comp, history, etc. Throw some somewhat tougher classes in their like biology, mathematics (advanced if you can), and of course a language. They all translate well to other schools and can give you an idea of your future pathways.

Look into anything that cannot be outsourced and look into health careers.

google bureau of labor statistics…and then look for the occupational handbook.

we all want to be successful and play….then reality steps in and we need to look at what careers are hot and where they are hot.

trust me…do the occupational handbook and you'll get great information.

I am a business marketing graduate and I found it to be an interesting degree. Every school is different but I had a lot of group work and hands on projects where we had to find a product or come up with a product and create a business plan to market it in another country is just one example. I took some international business courses and they were pretty good. If you want to travel and enjoy business I think it is a good career path to choose. I currently work for a major sports apparel company and get to travel all winter long and it is a lot of fun.

International business will always be needed and in my opinion is way more interesting than finance.

That no one will read your story for 2 reasons:

1-It is incomplete
2-Long stories suck

i have a friend who had the exact same majors… int. business and marketing.. she was from california.. moved to france.. and studied there for a few years… met people and travelled.. she moved back here and studied more… dont know about the pay… though her life so far has been adventurous, fulfilling, enjoyable, and envious of.

im sure i get paid more than her.. but on the same token.. my life is less adventurous..

so if you find yourself going back to it.. then go ahead and do it.. see where it leads you.. before its too late…..

If you have a degree – or any extra qualification – then you'll already be in front of of the bunch when it comes to hunting for vocations. My mate has a degree and he wasn't certain what direction to go with it, but he discovered some great tips and tricks on the resource in the resource box below which guided him to decide that he wanted to be a lab assistant. There is a lot of assistance on the resource regarding extra vocations.

I also do not believe time travel is possible. If you went the speed of light away from the earth, and returned, you would technically be younger relative to the folks on earth and not as old as you should be. But you cannot actually travel in time, like Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, or Michael Crichton's Timeline (good book though).

And the case for alternate dimensions, I think, should be made separately, for even if there are alternate dimensions, there is no way, according to science, to travel from one to the other, (wormholes would not necessarily do that job).

I have the fear of being in the same position too. I would suggest doing the "working world", then when you have enough money saved up, make a transition into something you've always loved doing.

In other words, work hard, then enjoy the labour….or something like that =)
