I feel like I've made a bunch of horrible choices. I graduated in 2005 with a MA in English (not my native language). My original plan was to become a translator or technical writer, and I had a summer trainee position as a tech writer that turned into part-time work during the school year. But then I applied for a job at a small company that was importing products related to one of my hobbies. I got the job - essentially marketing, event organizing and eventually some social media stuff. The pay was terrible but I enjoyed the work, and they were always flexible about my hobby (which often involves travel) and my studies. When I graduated, I got a substantial raise. By the time I wanted to move on, the job market was pretty bad, I wasn't a fresh graduate anymore, and my tech writing experience wasn't recent. So I stayed until they were forced to let me go (they lost a deal they had with one of the product manufacturers). I've been unemployed for a few months now, and I don't know what to do - there simply aren't any jobs in the same "field" unless I want to move to another country (not something I want to consider since my husband has a great job that he loves), it seems like the marketing/social media jobs go to people with an education in marketing, and the translation/tech writing jobs go to people with more experience in that field, or recent graduates.
