I've never had a job. Not even part-time. How's that for mortifying?

The problem is that I'm shy as hell and prefer not to deal with people. As a result, there are so few options for me that I feel like I'm doomed. Working as a cashier or waitress is completely out of the question. Stocking would be okay, but my mom is strongly against it because she feels it would only help me a little. I'd be fine with (and possibly even enjoy) an office job, like data entry, but the sad fact is that there are barely any offices where we live. I like biology in the sense of work centered around animals, but I wouldn't wanna be a vet or vet's assistant. Blogging seems like a pipe dream at this point.

When September comes, I don't know what the fuck I'm gonna do, and my parents keep pestering me about it. I feel lost, terrified, and a few minutes ago I broke down during dinner because I couldn't take it anymore.

Volunteering at my local library or animal shelter would be a start, I suppose, and even if they didn't pay me I'd get some experience. But after that, then what? I get my Bachelor's and keep looking? I don't feel like taking more classes because I don't even know what I'd take to help start a career. Aside from writing, there's not much else I'm good at. I used to be into drawing, but my art skills just aren't passable anymore.

I have plenty of time, I just don't know where or how to start. *insert massive stress sigh*
