I am currently studying Philosophy at my university right now and I have just about a year left. What in the world am I supposed to do when I get out? I don't have the slightest clue. Can anyone relate?

Hi there; so are you working at all, as well? like flipping burgers, etc?
In an interview (which is what you should be aiming at) you need to come across as having active initiative, and not as introspective. The employer is going to want to ask himself: what is this guy going to be able to DO for me that the other applicants can't do so well.
joey: Well you must go with what you've got: introspection won't help you; you need to move towards being a doer, little by little. Keep praying and trusting.
The first thing you need to do is decide what type of job you want. Did you go into Philosophy because there was a particular career you wanted that a Philosophy degree would help you get?

In thinking about your comfort zone and abilities this is what I have thought of off the top of my head.
I thinking that you have written countless papers and your senior year will be more of the same. This entails more than being able to write well but to be skilled in research and the ability to compile that information into concise and detailed papers.
Research assistant in about in field especially I would think the law. So as a legal research assistant.
A proof reader, editor (as a goal) for a publishing house.
In a college, where profs are active in getting published.
You don't say what you have minored in. You've got a year yet to take some extra classes to around out your skills.
Think big, pray, and then go for it.
Philosophy is not most prospective course for find out a suitable job. Study report say to us that now a days most of higher educated people are unemployed, because they can't select proper course. So we should try to complete job oriented course after graduation.
