The degree helps but the ba makes it like an advanced hs diploma. Get the masters. That's what it is at now. Trust me.

I'd begin by trying to get in the door someplace and getting experience.
I'm making as much as engineers with my gig, and I don't have a degree. But I worked for the manager about 7 yrs ago and he called me out of the blue because he knew of my experience, attitude, ethic etc. Short of something very very specific in career path, college doesn't give a good ROI. Cut your losses so to speak.

Being an officer in the Navy would be awesome. I was enlisted, but officers had it made.

Man, its so stupid out there in the marketplace for humans right now, its just an incredibly odd congruence of miserly business owner habits and a glut of desperate people with many even offering to work well below their experience level... hence the "overqualified" label... i've never understood that charge, you're saying you dont want an extremely capable employee for the same amount of money you'd hire an idiot for?
I personally know two holders of Masters degrees who are by turns, unemployed... or working as a waiter in chicago to supplement what they're already doing! Just heard that from a relative tonight!... if thats me, mother**** chicago, i'll go where i dont have to work 80 hours a week to live. Has a masters, now waits tables to go with his teaching job... dumbest shit i've ever heard of... GET. OUT. OF. DODGE. Thanks, Obama! |

Unemployed for the better part of a year before going into counseling. Granted she couldn't move due to family but still.

So far insurance agent, associate underwriter with two different insurance agencies, a CD clerk with a bank, part time Jos A Bank suit seller, ESPN statistics guy, and regional underwriter.
The first two underwriting jobs gave me "sorry, no dice" emails last week and three weeks ago, never heard back from the suit shop, no word from ESPN or the bank and a family friend talked to HR for the regional underwriting job.

I work for an IT consulting firm. Believe the people that tell you that there is a SEVERE lack of developers out there. I think Centriq has a 6 month track. I'm not sure about the quality though...
