About to Graduate

[3countriesPlan]

An MBA is too general and everyone has one. Perhaps a Masters in Finance would be better... I have a friend with an MBA from a respected university and some crap company had the audacity to try to get him to sell things over the telephone for them...

dude if you look back at my job apply posts back a year or so ago. I applied to over 900 jobs and only got 20 or so interviews. I got a total of 3 offers and this was right after the global financial meltdown. I made it into finance worked as an analyst and now i'm an account manager. Don't give up, never stop trying, adapt, and improve.

I've recently been job hunting as well along with working on my business. I've been taking my time as i still have a job and am waiting for my bonus but i've sent out over 100 emails since september and applied to over 20 jobs since then. Haven't landed one interview. I did land an offer last April right around my birthday but i declined it to go to Hong Kong and work there for a few weeks. Keep on trucking.

I got many call backs from people wanting me to be accout managers but my plan is to start out as a Financial Analyst or Accountant. In 5-6 years I will be a controller or senior financial analyst of a company which is 100K+. So I'm really trying to get some experience so I can get that job. Right now I'm a Bookkeeper at Home Depot. Even though I don't make much now I'll take it over any other entry level non accountant job. I will keep my eyes very open but right now I'm really focusing on paving the road to my great 100k+ job in a few years.

Well I haven't had any success getting a new job since I'm not willing to travel too far since I am working on my masters degree right now.

I am a bookkeeper for a retailer. I only make 9.20 an hour. I like having a little money but I feel like I have worked too hard just to get this. I am considering quitting and doing my own thing for some change.

I have a good job lined up when I do graduate. But Im trying to get something local here.

get your 48k of college loans, use it to build 1/4 mill of credit, and get to some country where the interest on 200k lets you retire. Screw beating your head against the wall for 45 years, man.

You will achieve this exactly how?

 

[PrettyBoyAJ]

Well I decided I'm about to quit or at least put in a two week notice. When I quit I will be way more focused on myself and I feel like that's what I need to work on now. Figuring out how to get this little side hustle going and working more on myself and school.

400$ a month ain't sh!t. I know a lot of people here make that in a day.

I put in my two weeks a couple days ago. I'm looking for a new job, (This time salaried). It's going to feel good not waking up at 4 in the morning... very good and this little break is very needed!
