So what you'll realize is that the further you get from graduation, the more "a degree" matters and the less "this specific degree" matters.

Honestly? Put in a couple years, get some business skillz, pay down your student loan debt, and keep a close eye on your managers all the way to the top. Consider them from a "if I were her, I would do X instead of Y" perspective and start thinking like a boss, rather than an employee. Then apply to high-end MBA programs, take 2 years off and get a much better job doing whatever appeals to you four years from now.

Don't think of your current gig as a "career." Think of it as a cash-flow positive internship while you learn the ropes of, you know, working for a living.
