Civ:
Is it possible to sign up for internships or co-operative education programs at your school? I took 6 paid co-op (intern) positions while at university, and it really opened my mind to career possibilities.
(Of course, then i turned around and got a job that was really only marginally related to my degree and co-op workterms, but a girl's gotta eat, and the job's ok).
Also, are you entrepreneurially inclined? Colleges and universities have great entrepreneurship networks. You'd have a better chance of finding a job that you love; of course, it's not without risks and possible financial hardship.
I agree with the other posters, it's ok not to know what you want to do when you grow up when you're 21. But there's lots of opportunities to explore, and it's easier to do that exploring from a university or college campus.
