I am a soon to be 27 year old male who seems to be stuck in a rut.
I graduated with college with high honors back in 2000, and I have been working ever since. I just feel like I should be further along than I am. I currently work as a claims representative for a large insurance company, but it's not what I want to do. I want to get into marketing/underwriting but no positions have opened up and the one that did open up I got rejected for... I am one of 3 college grads in my unit..
I had planned to go for my MBA, but I have begun to feel like its totally pointless for me to do so despite the fact I want to make more money and I love to learn? I studied for the GMAT, and I scored over a 700 on practice tets so its not due to lack of ability...I think its just general feel and inertia.... I moved back home recently to be closer to my family. I am fairly good looking, and I haven't had a date in about 7 months..and all of my relationships have been a bust.

I just feel like I have lost my drive and motivation and I am drifting aimlessly at this point. I don't know how to break out of this cycle. I feel like such a bum! I feel helpless and hopeless..I don't know what to do:(

Why do you feel like the MBA would be pointless? (I'm not asking to question your feelings or loss of motivation -- just trying to figure out the basis for that change.) It sounds to me like it would be a good step, but not if you're no longer motivated in that direction.
