4. Go back to school and get a degree in something else, preferably accounting or nursing.

5. Look around for a clerical position and move back home.

Graduate study is also an option — linguistics is a growing field of research at the university level, and a background in a second language is an added bonus.

Speak French?

Bonne chance.
