What to do when you don't know what you can do with your major??

<p>I've been in college for a total of 9 years changing my major from graphic design, photography and lastly finishing with art history (the 9 years came from working and attending school so I wasnt always full time).</p>

<p>Now Im married, working a dead end job as a typesetter and have no idea what to do with my degree.
Some of my options are: Get a 2yr tech degree in something..maybe grapic design or completely out of my field. Find a decent paying "boring" job and live with my decision. OR a far fetch idea...get my masters in digital photo, counseling, or a teachers cert.</p>

<p>Im sure many people have done this...go to college right after high school with no idea what to study so we just take random classes only to realize the world is changing and a 'realistic' college degree is important. I live in Texas and an art degree just doesnt seem useful here, though there are great museums here.</p>

<p>Any ideas, opinions, or should I get over myself and stop whining (cause sometimes it seems like I am) ;)</p>

<p>Did you graduate with a strong GPA?</p>

<p>My gpa is ok. Its not great by any means. My art classes are very good but I usually let my other classes slip to concentrate on my major. I’d assume if I chose to continue my education I’d have to submit a portfolio and some writing samples to make up for my gpa, if I can.
Definitely something I regret now is not giving each class worth. Live and learn.</p>
