New Phase?

This is supposed to be a new phase in my life. However, I don't feel like I'm there yet. I'm in limbo and I hate being this unstable. While I was in college I didn't have total stability but school was there and I think it anchored me and that was a bit comforting. Now, I've really got nothing. I do have a job and for that I am thankful, but it's not what I want to do with my life. I am constantly told by others (and myself) that the economy is bad and that I will get a job in my field eventually but honestly it doesn't help. "Eventually" is really just not good enough for me right now. I want to start the next phase in my life. I don't want to be placed on hold anymore. The "on hold elevator" music sucks and I can't stand to listen to it anymore. I'm not just complaining and not doing anything about it. I've applied for jobs. Not just jobs that are in my field (because there aren't any). I've just been trying to get into something that might actually make me feel like I have a purpose. Right now showing people to their seats at a restaurant is not really a purpose, it's a job and a depressing one at that.
Hello life, I'm Stephanie and I'd like to join you now.
