Default Does Anyone Really Like Their Job?

I just graduated from U. at Albany in May and I am 1/2 assed looking for a job. I graduated with a communication major and a history minor which points me in absolutely no direction as to what I should be doing. So I start to search Monster and HotJobs, and man, all of these jobs look boring as hell.

I mean, I know I have to suck it up for the 1st few years because I have no real experience, but does it get any better?? I know some people who love what they do that graduated last year, but they are the minority. The job I end up at will probably be a favor (wink wink) through people I/my family knows but what are some fun, decent paying jobs??

PS, I live in the NYC suburbs so I am basically doomed to commute into NYC.

not everyone gets a job they love. the key is to see every job as a challenge and excel in it.

sorry, but real life is real life, you have to live. that's why it's usually called "making a living".

I work in childcare and love it. It is a job, and not a career. A lot of employers don't care a whole lot about what your degree is in; they care about you having a degree. Find something you like and go for it.
