BEDA day 2: What’s a graduate to do?

Here is a link to my friend Becky’s BEDA post on how she feels after graduating, and I was happy when I read it as I am exactly the same. It is scary how many doors are open to graduates, and which to choose. I don’t mean there are opportunities being handed round on golden plates, because there aren’t. I mean the rest of our lives are laid out before us and, although it sounds clichéd, we can do anything. Except, y’know, the recession and stuff (I made a documentary about how it’s affected one of my favourite things, if you didn’t know). But hopefully you get from mine and Becky’s posts that inside our heads right now it’s like a washing machine (as I type this, I don’t know where this metaphor is going either) of confusion as we try to work out what we really want to do with ourselves, and how to make that happen.

Do you have firm ideas of what you want to do, or how you see your life going?
