Today's job fair made me realize how much I do not want to work in HR...
What do I do with my life ? 😑 ☹

In a way, you're in a good position. These days, having a degree is proof that you're able to apply yourself, rather than meaning you have to follow a career path based on your degree subject. I know it's difficult to come to a decision about a career path, but what you choose doesn't have to be binding (and probably won't be). I work at a university and do know how difficult it can be. If you're not ready to decide, you could always defer the decision and study for a Masters or other postgraduate qualification.

@NorthernLights: That's what many do. Best advice I could give you is to start thinking about careers during the second year of your masters, unless you want to carry on for a PhD and a career in academia.
I have a bachelor's in psychology. I actually thought of being a child psychologist someday. I plan to apply as a Guidance Counselor in our school while taking my masters but there aren't any opening as of yet. Also my mother wants me to get a job now. Like, now. AS IN RIGHT AFTER GRADUATION.

@NorthernLights: Having a degree in the sciences does give you more of an option to take a research path. I know what you mean, though. When I left university, my mum left it a couple of days and then came at me like a wild woman. I took a few months to have a break and assess my options and I think it was necessary. It was full of nagging, though. :)
