What if I was a hut builder/daiper changer double major as an undergrad?

OK, time for me to fess up: I know I said in my goals essay that I wanted to change the world, that I wanted to make to bring business expertise to under-developed economies, etc, etc, but really, the REAL reason that I am applying to B-school is because I'm suffering from a severe case of quarter life crisis (OK, maybe most of you figured that out based on my nickname and picture).
It dawned on me about 18 months ago that I really don't enjoy my job and I want to do something else, but I haven't figured what I want to do yet.
So, anyway, I'm just wondering who's with me. Let's discuss Plan B, assuming we don't make it into B-School at all. Solaris1 - come on mate, I think you're also in my shoes! So what should we do? Let's talk! Maybe we can even get some material for "what's most important to you and why?"
Ya know, you gotta start somewhere. I don't think schools expect you to know every last bit of detail of what you want to do 20 years from now, nor will they hold you to every single word that you wrote in your essays. It's almost more about the thought process than anything else. They want to see that your goals are realistic and practical and that you've demonstrated some sort of initiative to acheving those goals during your career/education. There's no law that says you can't change your mind. Hell, I'd say half of the MBA students that I've met on my schools visits come right out and say, "I have no idea what I want to do, but I'm working on it".
