Job Searching

I hate looking for jobs. Plain and simple, no excuses, it ranks up there with my least favorite things in life. I have yet to hear back from the coffee shop down the street, although I did notice they reposted their job openings on Craigslist today.
The biggest problem with the whole finding a job thing is that I have no clue what I want to do. Ok, I take that back, I know what I want to do, there just aren't any job openings doing it. That aside, I have been a mechanic, a carpenter and a janitor. All things considered, those weren't bad jobs and I even enjoyed them at times, but try as I might there are really any jobs that I can find out here that fit into those categories. So here is the question: do I go into retail? I ask, because it scares and annoys me. I don't know if I can handle retail. It is like the scary thing I never really contemplated until this point in life, but I am starting to get desparate here.
The problem with considering retail is, where do you even start? Should I go with the flow and try to be one of the crazy used car salesmen that I keep seeing in TV commercials? Ok, won't even go there. Book stores are cool, but my wife kinda has that one under wraps. Guitar shops are hard to come by. Kohls is hiring, but once again, scary.
I am at a loss. Apparantly I should have gone into sales or business or something cause there sure doesn't seem to be any job postings looking for a Music/Theology grad. If only I could get paid for sitting around and talking about music and discussing theology, that would be great. Now that I think about it, aside from scrubbing a couple toilets, that's about all I ever did at Bethel. Funny how that works.

Trubador would be sweet. I am working my way up, I started last night by leading worship for my church small group.
