Career advice for a Veteran? |
Hello and thank you for stopping by. Here is my question. I am an immigrant, right after I finished high school (in Israel) I came to America with my mother and my sister. Since life here is so expensive(we had to come to San Francisco) I spent my first year working 24/7 trying to make the rent. After that I joined Marine Corps to earn my right to be part of this country. I was in Infantry, and made my way to rank of SGT. Also while I was in I attended a school online( Park University) and got 2 years of education completed. In September 2006 I got out to face the real world, where my experience or educations don't mean much. Now I found out that it is hard to find a job with online degree, I also find out that most of my credits won't transfer to state schools (even thought the school was regionally accredited). And I am 25 years old now, feeling that I ruined my life. You are in San Francisco right? That is one of the most expenisive cities in the entire United States! A lot of people in that city have complainted that San Francisco standard of living is way to high for them to make a living and make ends meet. As for your online degree program...you shouldn't have entered that online degree program cause HR looks at online degrees as not real degrees. You need to enroll in a school either U.C. Berkley or some other school in a TX or New Mexico....like University of TX at Austin or University of New Mexico..legit schools that are taken seriously in HR departments around the country. The fact that your credits won't transfer to state schools ought to tell you something about Park University or University of Phoenix for that matter. What are your skills? Can you type fast? Do you know MS software? Do you know how to network? Have you posted a resume on craigslist or gone to your unemployment office. I would suggest you go to the unemployment office immediately. Tell them what is up. |
