frustration

It can be tough to figure out what you want to do for a living. For me it has to be something that will make me happy. Without getting into all my particulars, let's just say that I  am interested in many things, fairly organized, always willing to learn / help / get things done that others weasel out of. I like to write (and do so pretty well). I'm creative. I don't like corporate BS, busy work or having to redo my work because some manager can't decide how things should be presented until AFTER the project is complete.

After many years of just getting by I decided to bite the bullet and finish my BA. I chose Sociology because it interested me, but also because there was a local program that had evening classes. At one time I would have liked to get an English degree. If I could simply spend my life making pottery I would. So I'm working my way through this degree and when I'm finished I'll have the same job. This degree is for me. I hunt the job boards, local JC, school districts, etc., and I can't find a job goal other than "not what I'm doing now." 

As ever, I feel that I lack the connections with people and the community to find what's out there. Everything I see and they aren't jobs that would even later turn into something I'd like) cut my current pay in half. Do I have outlandish expectations? Do I have a bad attitude? Am I already in the best place I can be?

I'd like to think that I could go on in school, but if I can't come up with a real, viable, career goal, how can I justify the time and money?
