    Ive just finished college last month and Ive no clue what I want to do. Well I have a few possibilities...:

    Ive applied for a masters-- option 1
    Full time job, move out-- option 2
    travel--option 3

    I need to move out due to home environment, I cant stick it anymore!

    If I do a masters I cant afford to move out as I have loan commitments.

    If I travel, I still have the loan commitments.

    Im just confused about what to do....for the best.

    Why not do a working holiday somewhere? You can experience new countries and still get the money to pay your way and slowly pay back loan commitments. You could even combine that with an online course, all three birds with one stone. Only problem with online courses is that they're few and far between and I'd imagine there aren't a lot for particularly good schools.

    I'm out of college a year and in the same boat, full time job has fallen through and can't get work cleaning toilets never mind in my field of study :(

    I've decided to go for the masters option, at least if you do the masters you can be out of the house for most of the day and will have a further qualification at the end of it, though you might be in the same position in a years time. You still have July and August at least to travel in, could grab a friend and get the cheapest ryanair flights and hostels and have a good time for a few days in different european cities?

    Can't tell you what to do but if it was me I'd go for the masters...after that you can still travel and still look for a full time job. If you choose travel or full time job now it's going to be sooo hard to get your frame of mind back into the study thing. Now is a s*itty time to look for a full time job here in Ireland and if you choose travel and head to lets say OZ, it's hard to get employment there at the mo. If you are feeling cr*p being at home at the moment it's probably got something to do with all the life changing decisions you have to make and you feel under so much pressure. Maybe when you decide what route to take you'll settle a bit. Been there, done that :cool: Good luck whatever you decide!
