Do you know what you want to do for a living?

Sounds like you were going in multiple directions and never choosing one.

Take the Myers Briggs test. Find out what personality type you have. There are plenty of free tests online.

Then search online for "jobs for INTJ's" or whatever personality type you have. You'll find job titles you may be interested in.

I want to be a entrepreneur for my career.However, I want to have a job that requires a degree until my family's oil company gets off the ground.I am searching for what job that might be.I really wanted to be a professor but I realized it would not have been for me.

Explain me something: why did you graduate with a bachelor's in sociology and a minor in psychology? What makes you passionate about these fields of study? Why aren't you looking for jobs related with your academic background?

I don't see clear career goals in your statements. Also I see you just gave up on your "logical" career paths because you stated about taking McJobs which are far away from "sociology and psychology". I do not have much idea about your majors, but I've seen people with the same degrees working mainly in Human Resources, as Social Worker, and as Counselors. Have you tried to look for jobs in those areas?

Well I graduated with a degree in sociology because a lot of landmen for oil and gas companies have them.I wanted to be a landman for a oil companies.The oil companies want landmen with experience and there is not much demand for landmen where I live.I thought a degree would get my foot in the door with a oil company.I thought a degree would get my foot in the door even in a non-oil related company.
