Your options are only limited by your needs. Decide what you need and don't need -- at least for the next ten years. Fine down the list, figure out how much it would cost to live that way, figure in a reserve for buying durable goods and medical emergencies, and you have your range. If you're down with living frugally in shared housing and driving old cars, the world is practically yours. So don't focus on something just because it pays a lot of money; focus on something you find you like because it pays _enough_ money, and make sure _enough_ is none too high.

Eventually you may find that you need to reprioritize, if you decide to marry, have kiddies and all. And especially as you get older. But you have a degree and you are, I think in your early 20s. You have at least ten years of quality FREE TIME to experiment with interesting careers and options regardless of objective success. Try something new, fail or lose interest, start over.

You sound like you're at the end. Friend, you're at the beginning. It's all waiting; just requires courage and a little imagination.
