A couple years ago I finished my Computer Science Degree with a less than stellar GPA. I seldom went to class and it showed in my grades. Towards the end of my degree I started working in web development at a small company. I racked up a total of about 2 years experience before I started to lose interest in the work. Eventually work ran dry and I took an opportunity teaching English in Korea. That year long holiday is over and I'm back home with choices to make.
I've been home 5 weeks and had one job interview. They didn't hire me. Since then I haven't applied for other jobs. I have an opportunity to work with the same small company again just so I can get some more recent experience.
The problem is I don't want to write financial software or make websites. Those seem to be the primary areas where I could find work with my existing experience. Truth be told I don't know what I want to do, only what I don't want to do.
These are my options:
1. Get a CS job and stick with it until I get promoted to a manager position and hope that makes me happy.
2. Go back to school and take something that a CS degree would complement.
3. Start a metal band and blow out my voice.
Option 2 particularly tickles my fancy. What are some fields that a computer science degree would compliment?
Other input is appreciated.
