Hi ,

Love reading this board, has given me plenty of advice. I'm a 25 year old girl looking for a change. I graduated college about four years ago and have yet to find my niche. When people ask me what do I want to do, i reply with a blank look on my face, frankly I don't know. I know I love to travel, so after quitting my job last year, I went on an eigth month backpacking trip through Mexico and Central America. I gotta tell ya, I absolutely loved it, every minute, but that will be the last time I do something like that, or travel so long without a purpose. I thought the purpose was to have some sort of revelation, some sort of "aha!" moment... but it never came. I did come back however, with a renewed sense of energy, a certain readiness to plow on. But I am still stumped of what I want to do.

I've had a different job each year since I graduated . They've all been in the medical and social services field, so one thing I do know....I definitely want out of this field. IA friend told me no one will hire me because I'm considered a "flight risk", since I have had three different jobs in four years. I know it takes a while to find a niche. I know I love traveling and writing, I also know that the travel journalism field is tough, so I would love to work in international business or developement. I am aware, however, of the difficulty to even crack the surface of this field, but I will defintely work hard. So many people keep telling me "Go to grad school", but I want to go when I am sure of what i want to study.

I guess i am looking for advice, how should I market myself to potential employers? Any other advice would be greatly appreciated!
