Congrats first of all!! If you didn't enjoy it a positive would be that it is over with! No one is expected to know what to do next immediately. Are there any resources through your old university/ college that you could still access like the career centre or counseling services? Or maybe there is an active alumni association. There may be an opportunity to meet people in different jobs, volunteer or shadow them to see if you would enjoy it.
However, I would definitely recommend celebrating (responsibly) and enjoying your vacation.
Do things that you do enjoy and maybe that will refresh you and remind you about your dreams.

Does your university have a careers department? Often you can still access them after you have graduated. They will be able to help you find transferrable skills from your course.
Knowing what you don't want to do can be half the battle in finding what you do want to do! Are there any parts of your course you did enjoy?

I am glad your perspective is shifting. Maybe you aren't meant to get past the brick wall at the moment- but just to cover it in some really great graffiti?!
Keep reaching out and know that you have done well. Believe in the fact that great things are in store for you. You deserve to feel good about your life!

Congrats on finishing the degree! That's not an easy thing to do, especially if you don't like the program/material.
Don't feel locked into the field that you studied for. You'd be surprised at the number of jobs you can get with any degree. Or the jobs that require knowledge of one field but really are in another.
So take a deep breath and celebrate. You accomplished something that's not easy and takes years of dedication. Congratulations!

hey, just wanted to chime in and say it's not the end of the world! Having a degree can open as many (or more) doors than the subject it's in. I too hated my degree by the end of the first year. I studied music, and I graduated (just about) with very average classification, and now I work teaching English and Maths to adults. Nothing to do with music, and I have barely touched an instrument since my finals, some years ago. Don't let your qualification define you!
