Graduated, now what?

I just graduated from college Dec. 10, 2005. I are a gaduate! Heh heh. Anyway, my internship is now over because it was for college credit. I went home to Odessa for the holidays. Over the break, and I don't really know what brought it up, but I started thinking about careers and such and I suddenly got the idea about going into event planning. It just sounded better than advertising. I want to learn Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, and I have been learning, but event planning just sounded better.

See, in advertising, copywriting and all that, I would need to be creative all of the time. I would need to always be working on many different client's needs all at once and so on. Talk about stressful. And I worry about needing to be creative all of the time in order to do copywriting and layout. But with event planning, which I admit might also be stressful in the organizing department (but all jobs are stressful, right?) with event planning I would work with elements that have already been thought up by someone else and I would just work with what I've been given. I would need to organize events and bring together all different aspects of advertising, sponsors, people, etc. but I wouldn't have to come up with it all on my own. I would just organize it. And my boss from my internship said it would be a good move.

But now I have a problem. I have no contacts. No one to call. I'm on my own unless my aunt knows someone in town. And she does seem to know everyone. But I'm gonna start something new I didn't take classes for. And it's really scary, you know? I feel like I have no direction right now. But I do have a plan, sort of, and that's a start. Right?
