More school!!!
TheDon...
Get a co-op or internship to learn about work. You will learn a lot about yourself, what you like and don't like. What work interests you and what you would never EVER do again. For instance: Big company vs small. Big office vs smaller. Public vs private. Union vs non-union. Learn about industries- manufacturing, service, gov't, and so on...
If you're reasonably intelligent, I would suggest getting one with one of the "Top 10 Internships" in the country. These will definitely expose you to one of the most amazing experiences in your life. If you need ideas, grab a Fortune magazine (the Fortune 500, Americas Most Admired, Worlds Most Admired, 100 Best places to work for issues) and read up to get some ideas.
What about working for yourself? Go apprentice under someone you really admire or like... this worked for centuries and still does now.
FYI
I did a co-op with a F100 manufacturing company (hated it
)
For the past 4 yrs I have been working for myself with one of Fortune's "Most Admired" and "Americas top 100 places to work for"
Love it and will never work for someone else ever again...
best wishes
