<p>While I agree that having a job of some significance would put money in my pocket, allow me to pay off my loans, and look good on a resume, I am not going to make enough money working as a retail assistant manager or as a server to support myself. Most jobs such as these aren’t full time anyway, as they are cutting hours. My psychology bachelor’s is essentially useless in my area (regarding full-time jobs). I have had connections but they can only do so much. I had a human resources position lined up but it ultimately fell through because the woman that was leaving ultimately decided to stay and was not relocating for her husband’s new job like she had planned. Serving has not been beneficial for networking whatsoever. Working in a bar until 2am is not helping promote my career at all. </p>
<p>I’ve worked my way through college, so I have lots of experience in the food service industry as a server/server trainer/receptionist but I’m not interested in restaurant management or retail management. I’ve been looking everywhere for an administrative position but its tough when someone with 5-10 years of experience is applying as well. I have been looking for case management or bachelor level positions and the competition is so fierce that its pretty much been a lost cause.</p>
<p>I have no extended family that I could potentially move in with or ask to put me up while I transition. I have absolutely no money saved up in order to move and its looking like if I don’t find a job soon I’m going to be working somewhere such as Hooters to support myself. Which, arguably, looks worse than actually doing something productive in school.</p>
<p>The temp agencies in my area are so full of applicants there is no chance of me finding a job that way. I’ve tried that avenue already.</p>
