Just a bit of perspective.

I have one friend left who I still talk to from when I was 21, I think I met him when I was 20.

I did not meet my wife until I was just over 21.

I had an utterly worthless degree at 21. A B.S. in Ethology, Ecology, and Evolution isn't going to get you anything without 'volunteer' in the job description.

I stayed in school another ummm 9 years. This is a bit of an extreme, but had I not gone onto more school I can't imagine where I would be now.

I would recommend thinking about grad school if your degree is of the 'worthless' variety. This will give you a couple of things.

One, a possibly better job, or more choices in your job. A masters is 2 years or so, a PhD is 4-5. In the long run its not much time.

Another thing is it will keep you with a lot of people your age. Often you will find a job, but few will be your age and fewer still will seem to be single. Grad school is a fresh start with new people most of whom will be new to the area as well.

I'm sure you are sick of school, but its a lot easier to just keep going and get it over with.
