Well now that you have your degree, what kind of business do you want to work for? Would you like to manage in a company that makes golf balls or would you rather be in a company that does customer service. That’s where I think that you need to start by finding your "niche" in business.

For me, it all started in high school. I took a drafting course my freshman year and excelled in it and really enjoyed it. When I moved to a smaller town, there was no drafting course so I looked into a youth apprenticeship program in engineering which got me working with a local manufacturer doing drafting. After HS, I continued working with that company and then went on to college to earn a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Well, I never made it to the degree, but I have changed companies and am currently a designer/drafter and am going to school part time to get that damn degree.

Basically, I wouldn’t limit yourself because of the type of degree that you have, I’d try to compile different areas of work that interest you. You obviously enjoy bikes, so then I’d put all local bike dealerships on your list along with motorcycle repair shops. The next step would be what you actually want to “do”. Would you like to be the guy selling the bikes to people, or would you rather be the guy that gets part for people? In the long run, you should set up a plan to see where you want yourself to be in 10, 20, or 60 years. If you want to be renting an apartment living paycheck to paycheck, your choices are quite open, but if you want a nice house with a wife and kids, it’s best to figure how much money you’ll need to be making and then start looking into a lot of jobs that meet your criteria until you find one that pays right and the people are good. There are a lot of choices out there, so don’t sell yourself short.
