TLDR; Sort of recent graduate with psychology degree and computer information technology degree that is having a hard time finding a job, and doesn't know what to do. (I wrote an essay down here so here is short version so you dont have to read me rambling)
Hey everyone. I'm really at a standstill. I graduated almost half a year ago, with a bachelors in Psychology and a minor in computer information technology. I started off my education enrolled as a computer science major and did 3 years (out of 5) under that major until I started failing and dropping classes. I know this isn't the forum to really post about this, but around this time period is when I started to get major depression which made college much harder, and made me re-evaluate things in my life. It took a while, but after talking to counselors and taking some psychology classes under my science requirement for the CS major, I was more motivated to switch into a major that I was doing well in, and could possibly help me understand my problems; as well as I could see myself wanting to help other people in the future. The problem was that I switched out of my major very late into college which meant that if I kept on taking above average college student course work (I went to a college with trimesters), I would graduate in 2 more years realistically[1 extra year to normal 4 years].
I finished in my calculated time, but with me pushing myself really hard to finish in those two years; I didn't really have much time to do labs and get experience under my belt. I was luckily able to get my CIT minor fairly easily since I took so many computer science courses while trying to aim for the major.
My current situation is that of a person with a lot of undeserving privilege. I moved back with my parents, and have been doing basically nothing but wasting my time playing video-games and such. My parents are both very well off and have no problem of me living home rent-free and they travel so much that they barely notice me. But, after being a slob for months. I am feeling that at 24, I am wasting my life doing nothing. I want to find a job, but am having in incredibly hard time doing so. My resume is very, very empty as I did nothing worth putting in it; other than, dishing out $100,000 + on a piece of paper, and that I am fluent in Spanish. I have a little bit of programming experience, but after doing nothing coding related for so long I have honestly forgotten a lot of it.
What can someone like me do? Should I go back to school locally (luckily a good major university is in my city)? When I switched majors my GPA damage was already done. I was at a 2.2 when I switched out and with 2 years of mostly B's and A's (some C's on the way) I was able to get myself up to a 2.9 (so close to a 3!) so grad-school is probably out of the question as most programs require a 3.0 to apply and even at that, would not consider someone with a low 3.0 and no experience; and unfortunately psychology is a field that mainly requires at least a masters to get a decent job. I want to take charge of my life; I'm really tired of not doing anything. I would even be willing to do something that doesn't pay me at this point just to get some type of experience worthy of a resume. Many of my less-privileged friends are working retail jobs to support themselves but I am thankfully not in that situation. I just have sadly not found what I want to do with my life.
Hopefully, this isn't too off topic with what is normally posted here. I was considering posting in a different forum but as it is ultimately job related I thought it was relevant enough(if you think of a more relevant sub-Reddit please feel free to point me that way); hopefully someone has had a similar experience and can put out of good old' reditally advice. Thanks so much to anyone who took their time out to read this.
