Which is why I'm going to be doing a Masters in Something-or-Other next year.

That Fearful Friend, Doubt
Now that I've been thrust out into the real world with no experience or qualifications to speak of - or at least working casually alongside people who actually venture out into the real world - I worry that I've done a dead-end degree which hasn't prepared me for any industry and basically renders me a useless, unskilled graduate. What the hell was I thinking? An Arts degree is clearly a luxury, and a waste of three years. Imagine what I could have been doing in that time - something more career-oriented, I'm sure.

What? What?! No of course it isn't a waste! You wouldn't be the passionate, warm, strong young woman you are if you didn't have an Arts degree -- I mean you could, obviously, but I'm a strong believer in the fact that education contributes much to a person's personality! You could still make a career out of it -- I mean, a Masters does help, but it's not absolutely essential. Look at everything you've done; look at Oaktree, look at Borders, look at Youth Action (is that what it's called? I forgot, sorry) -- you've accomplished WAY more than most people do, with more "career" oriented degrees! You're anything BUT unskilled! You're one of THE most intelligent people I know!
Much love and hugs.
If there's anyone who is capable of saving the world -- it's you. THIS much, I know.
JAG, i hope this was just a bad day because something i have always always loved about you and your blog is your eternal optimism. whatever i was going through, whatever day i was having i could real your blog and laugh and feel good.
i havent been on blogger for a few years now, but i still stop by to read yours simply because it is so sunny and unlike the others. you are a smart, driven girl and the fact that you majored in what you love only proves this. i know it can be frustrating but just remember it takes time. you will get you where you need to be.

You will find what you're looking for! An arts degree is most definitely not a waste of three years! You've earned it.. Good luck with obtaining your Masters! :D
If you can put together a blog and are a creative thinker and good with words, then I think you've got lots of marketable job skillz. :)
