Okay so I have a Bachelor's degree...but I don't want to pursue a career within my field(graduated with BA in Sport Management:|).
I'm willing to relocate and am willing to try out anything, just as long as it pays a little more than what I am currently doing(Commercial floor cleaning:p).....what are some realistic options I have?
 
teaching English overseas is the best option in my opinion.

look up ESL or TEFL.

South Korea has a huge market. China too. Pays like $25,000 a year, which is nothing to laugh at in Korea. Also covers housing, flight to an from, etc...

read all about it at "Dave's ESL Cafe"

or you could also do like most everybody who doesn't know what they want to do, and go back to school.

I went from college grad to squatter in my friend's dorm to maybe teaching English overseas to living at home with my parents to probably joining the French Foreign Legion to squatting in my friend's dorm to now definitely going back to school to get my PhD.

21st century quarter life crisis in full-effect.

What do you want to do?

Anything that keeps me busy, outside of an office and away from a 'faculty' type atmosphere...I would definitely be interested in a solitary position.

I also should have specified that when I said i'm willing to relocate I meant within the US.

I just got a job doing sales for a roofing company. I start training Monday, but my friend from high school who got me the job (he's been working there 9 years) told me to shoot for $50,000 this year. Yeah it's 100% commission but even if I make half of the $50K goal I'll be happy.

I have a Bachelor's degree but it is not required for the job. As a matter of fact he told me most of the salesmen just have a high school education.
 
I see nothing wrong with feeling entitled to a good-paying, enjoyable career after completing University. Where I live, the graduation rate (resulting in a bachelor degree) for University students is around 18% for working adults. That's got to put you on some higher rung of society than the other 82%.

So while keeping in mind what exactly you'd like to do, also ask yourself what those other people (of lower educational standing) are doing, and place yourself expectantly above them in terms of job satisfaction and salary.

I know it's easier said than done, but you have to have that attitude if you're going to get value out of your investment. I don't know about you, but my investment has cost and is costing a fortune in time and money.
