I am under somewhat similar circumstances. Graduated in June but went on to university. Engineering. After an exceptionally mediocre finish to the semester I'm now questioning whether or not seeing the degree through to completion is even worth the troubles. Engineers, as any other post grad demographic, are effected by ubiquitous shitrocker that is the "bad economy". I haven't as of yet or even in the future see myself securing any connections or jobs and I'm fairly certain I'd perform poorly in the interview process anyways. I also really have no interest in conventional work I'd be seeing from typical salaried engineer duties. At this point I'm seriously considering the military, but I don't know if I could tolerate having to be around others as much as I'd be expected to. Another option would be going through with the degree and entering the forces as an officer, which initially amounts to little more than a larger paycheck but holds the potential for comparatively significant career advancement.

tldr; I'm still directionless as fuck and don't see that changing anytime in the future. A part of me wants to be more definitive in my approach to the future while on the hand I don't want to think about such things at all.

Also for you fellow closet normals currently attending uni - seriously look into your school's disability services. I went ahead and got an ADD diagnosis and now receive academic compensation in the form of extended time on lab reports and +75% test time, which is immensely fucking helpful as any of you dealing with math courses would probably know. I didn't pursue it but note takers and attendance exceptions were offered resources. Being "disabled" in my school pretty much translates to an easymodo academic career, so milk your disabilities to fullest extent if lucrative.
