Long story short; behavior problems in HS led me to study a liberal arts discipline at a mediocre school. I got a boiler room job in business for a bit, and then got a masters at a rather fine school in a MUCH more quantitative discipline than my UG. It was in a field related to the job I once had but a massive math/academic shock compared to the partying I did in UG. My grad school GPA was above the 3.0 minimum, so I graduated. A few job interviews (for good roles, tho basically because of my school’s name) and no job. I’m now taking classes non-degree so I can apply for a second bachelors in a STEM field. I slacked in math in HS, which hurt me in grad school. Tho the last semester (summer), I faced the old mathematical demon in pre-calculus (for the first time in a decade) and got an A (not an A-, but a real A). Calculus is among the courses I’m taking now. I have no record of behavioral/legal problems.
Which good schools will accept a guy like me? Am I better off getting another masters or is a second bachelors the only way, given that my UG degree is simply a piece of paper, and it feels like all the employers see thru the grade floors of grad school.
