Where to go from here...

What are you going to do once you graduate? Will it be something in Psychology? Are you going to stay in the city? Have you started looking for jobs? What do you want to do? What about grad school? You should probably start paying off your student debt.

Pressing questions about life after graduation.
Struggling with trying to define or map out my future.
And for who?
I see doors wide open, but socially I feel this vignette clouding my periphery.
Like the answers I give to these questions should be self assured and involving something commendable like solving world peace or finding the cure for cancer on top of making a decent living and settling down.
Making money, paying off loans, saving to travel, saving for a car, money to move into a nicer area, money to keep up with social engagements.
Money, money, money.
This is normal right?
So, what's my problem?
Well I'd like to pursue my hobbies and turn them into something I can make a living doing, sharing with others, but my hobbies don't really center around solving world issues.
The part inside of me urging me to do something with my life that helps people less fortunate or positively contributes to issues like the ones I've learned in my Women's Health and Issues class is loud, but how much impact can little me actually have?
I feel overwhelmed. 
Issues on top of issues.
There's no black and white here.
And I continue to feel pulled in different directions.
