So, I saw a couple of threads asking for advice that were similar to my situation; however, I hate hijacking people's threads, and while I know /biz/ is inundated with this sort of thing, I wanted to ask some advice about graduate school and work. In short, what's a lucrative graduate program for a liberal arts major?

Long story short, I majored in classics and English, which I know are not the world's most lucrative or employable majors, but I did it with minimal debt as I had college scholarships--one of which was full tuition for majoring in classics. I honestly wanted to teach, but I think I would only want to do that at the post-secondary level now. If you know anything about the current state of colleges and universities in America, tenure is disappearing and good work is hard to come by as an adjunct professor--typically one must teach one to three classes as an adjunct prof for a pittance and then pray that they find an alternative 50%-100% job at the college/uni for which they are qualified and hope it offers a benefits package of some kind. Random thought, are online grad degrees bullshit?

That being said, I currently work a semi-managerial position at a college that is a 75% position and involves a lot of customer service. As it were, I have worked in a lot of customer service jobs--deli clerk, security guard, front desk assistant, tutor, gas station attendant, cashier, produce hand, financial aid assistant, call center associate, etc. I hate customer service. It's the pits. I don't want to do customer service anymore. I know it's the most readily abundant variety of job, but it's just not for me. I am somewhat neurotic and racked with anxiety and depression (like a lot of people, so I don't expect any special treatment unless it involves the ADA IRL). I take meds and I go to therapy. It helps. Any ideas about jobs for people with anxiety or who eschew high pressure social interactions? No to sales please, which I have done.
