"Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all"

Yes it does, actually.

Alternate Title: "What do you do, with a B.A. in Anthro?"

I don't remember being so scared about leaving high-school because I knew the future. My academic record was impressive enough as were my test scores *cough35actcough*, and I was sure enough about getting into here that I didn't even bother applying anywhere else. College on the other hand...completely different place. Now I'm thinking how can I translate all of this into a place.

I definitely want to be with muusu long term. Like multiple lifetimes perhaps (though next time, God, make him a female, please, kthx. ^.^), whatever I do.

Grad school is an option. Most career opportunities for Anthro people open up with advanced degrees, so to get a good amount of experience, I'd have to enter another bunch of academia. Advantages: Easily mobile, more education, extension of the liminality period, and better job opportunities.
Disadvantages: Expensive to prepare for (app fees, testing, etc.). Financial Issues (can I go to grad school without totally breaking Muu and I?) Qualification (Has my college life totally ruined my future).

Second option would be to go straight into a career. There are job opportunities for B.A. Anthro people and more so for people who have college degrees and don't mind being abused by corporations. This is an easy way out. No discomfort, no liminality, make money, live a comfortable life, boom. And all that good stuff.
Advantages: Comfortable Life. Path of Least Resistance. Make money. Reassures parents that I can indeed get a job as an Anthro major.
Disadvantages: Fairly concrete and possibly dead end. Could get stuck in a bad situation just because I didn't have the courage to take another path.

Third option would be to volunteer at something like the US Peace Corps. I'd be doing something with the Anthro degree instead of just pasting it to my wall. I could make a difference in the world, and all that ideological stuff.
Advantages: "Making a Difference". A launching pad for number one and two. Most ideologically appealing for me. Finally get to go overseas and potentially put one of my foreign languages to work.
Disadvantages: Choice between getting Muu to do this with me with all that entails and getting loose ends taken care of or leaving him behind for several months while I do this. Potential discomfort. Hot weather. Ideals might not meet up with actual capabilities.

I feel like everyone else has a handle on what they want to do. Me? I'm torn.

Over and out.
