jcharlsoo,
You are at one of the more traditional programs, a very nuts and bolts ID. It may be trying to change that image by admitting non-traditional students like yourself to the grad school. Don’t expect much support from faculty, as a grad student your expected to be more on your own.
If your interests are truly tangential to ID, you can’t be in a better place than a large university. There are tons of great rescources to tap into there, but again it’s up to you to go find and make the most of them. Tap into the undergrad knowledge base of where to look.
I strongly suggest spending the next semester focusing on basic skills, and getting an internship next summer - take that year off working in the feild to improve your chances of getting that entry level job upon graduation. Then, do a thesis project that prepares you for the job you really want!
