How does a recent college graduate find a job that matters?
I am a 21 year old woman, seeking to find a meaningful job upon graduation, which is coming up in a few months. I will be graduating with a BA in dance/choreography and, after working and saving up money, I hope to go to grad school for dance/movement therapy or for counseling psychology.
I have worked odd jobs my whole life and, although I cannot afford grad school at the moment, I wish to find a job relating to the mental-health industry. Does anyone know how I could find job opportunities at either a regular or behavioral hospital with just an undergrad degree? (Such as office-work, phone, etc.) I’m just looking to find a job that matters, even if it’s on the bottom. Advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

I suggest that you seek a work-study position which will allow you to work at an entry level for an organization and also attend graduate school on a part time basis. The organization would pay for your schooling and you would agree to work for the organization for x number of years after you graduate.
