Hey guys.
I'm at a crossroads in life. I graduated uni and moved back in with my parents for lack of a job gf and money/anywhere else to go. The good news is I have no student debt.
I have been applying for jobs for a while now and had 2 interviews one failed and the other I was supposed to hear back today about it.
Option A: keep applying for low tier NHS jobs even though I only have 1reference since I never had a job before and wait until I get a successful response and interview.
Option B: Go back to uni as I have a year of funding left and get a master's in a similar field as my Bsc Hons.
Option C: Jack the degree and get a cscs card from a full day or 2day course and get into construction (I have an A in woodworking intermediate 2 and exp building things with my dad)
Option D: Join the military as an officer due to my degree and try get a position in a lab or hospital. Either as exp for another job or full time as a career.
Option E: An hero.
Any advice or opinions on where to take my life are greatly appreciated. Will post more info if required for you to make a better choice.

More info needed
What's your degree in? And where did you get it from? It sounds like something medical-related?
Also how do you have no debt? Curiosity
Don't be disheartened at this point. It's very common to get loads of rejections before you get a job.
HEY YOU GUYS!
Help please, I value your opinions. Also how about a break from replying to the usual relationship problem threads that make up 90% of the board?

Thanks for the reply buddy.
It's biomedical sciences.
As for the lack of debt I did some cash in hand work while I was at uni as well as saved as much money as possible.

How much satisfaction would you get out of working in the NHS? What sort of roles are you applying for? How would a master's improve your job prospects?
If I were in your position I would want to get a job related to my degree so I wouldn't feel the degree was a waste of 3 years of my life.
Don't join the military without doing some serious research first. Can you visit/trial?
No reason to an hero unless you're really depressed, and it doesn't sound like you are.
What university did you go to?

A fair amount of satisfaction as I've always been interested in helping people/science.
Lab assistant/trainee/biomedical science positions fairly low end as I have no exp.
A master's may give me exp in my field and hence open up more jobs in the field/help get me hcpc certified.
4years of life.
I was thinking of visiting a recruitment centre first of course to find more.
Sometimes I get a little depressed since no gf ever. No job. Living with parents etc.

I had plenty fun in my four years "working cash in hand" apart from the lack of gf unfortunately. I just gave up smoking weed after 7 years to try and get a job to support my dad who got laid off and myself. I don't want to be a bum anymore. thanks for your input any more would be appreciated!
