Ask Evadig Anything

I thought I would have gotten a job by now, but nope. A college degree does not guarantee employment.

What did you major in?

 

[redinator]

Interested in... I'm not sure I've ever had a job that I was particularly "interested" in.

Right, lol. I had jobs that paid the bills.

What did you major in?

Mass Communications and Applied Psychology (it was the fastest degree to finish).

And I have an AS in Elementary Education.

That’s true, a lot of people just go get a job and be done with it. I guess I am looking to do something that has more meaning than just paying my bills.

It's a different world today.

Have you thought about applying to schools that teach on online? My son was 'homeschooled' but the program was run by the state. He still did all the required curriculum and state testing, but he did it all online. For state testing we had to go to a local college so the testing could be overseen by the teachers. Most states have programs like this now.

I did, but my state and surrounding states require one to be a licensed teacher. I may go back to school this fall to start working on my teacher’s certification.

No, but I’ve petted a dolphin. He was quite rubbery.

Have you petted a whale?

Sadly, no. Just Dolphins.

I get that, but hands-on experience seems to mean more to possible employers these days than a degree.

Even if the job isn't in your chosen field it can show that you have experience in customer relations, sales, logistics etc.
