<p>Are you looking all over the nation or just in your current geographic area? I’m not saying this in an accusatory way, but it is hard to believe that, with a quantitative degree like econ/finance concentration, you have been struggling to find any job with growth potential for two years straight. Did you have a 3.5+ GPA? Or atleast a 3.0+ (both major and cumulative)? I could see if you had bad grades and no strong work experience since then, employers are not willing to give you a chance (I am not saying that is the way it should be). But if you have had decent grades, I just do not see what is going on here. A masters in finance is not going to help you at all unless <em>maybe</em> if you had bad grades before and you make superb grades this time around.</p>
