No idea what to do?

There is often times too much emphasis put on the college major. The key is to get a degree and then go from there. Just do something that interests you. I majored in Communication (Political Science too) as well. It was a great skill for me, because like you, I suffered from confidence issues. And sometimes you've got to conquer something that is holding you back before you can go beyond that. I applaud that decision, because it shows that you are thoughtful. You don't need a business degree to be successful, so don't worry about that. And if you want to go into banking, be sure that is what you want to do. Your career choice is what is the most important decision for you. I've gone on to get a master's degree and have been successful in the consulting field. Confidence isn't my struggle any longer, and I can attribute a lot of this to my college major. By the way, apply to another Starbucks, or apply to that one again. You may even want to contact the hiring manager and ask for some feedback that might help you later on when interviewing for future jobs. For now, being a waiter at Chili's isn't so bad. I did my time at O'Charley's. So tell jerks that refer to you as loser to take a walk off a short pier, get a degree that interests you, find a career that you can get up everyday and enjoy. Hang in there, this time in your life can be difficult if you let it. But enjoy this time, because you'll look back and think it was some of the best times in your life.
