Employment Contract Negotiations

[Texican]

Kimmypie, completely off topic but do you live in the Saginaw area, there's a '13 Mustang with the same wheels and color down my street.

To the OP, another off the wall idea but have you looked into overseas contracting? There are jobs available that require little to no experience and the networking out here can get you a long way. It doesn't pay what it used to but it can easily get you out of debt and put enough in your bank account to give you some peace of mind while job searching at home.

I can look over your resume for you, or shoot you the template/layout I use.

He doesn't know much about P/E ratios, but how kind of you to offer...

I have found that I would need to take a lot of BS level courses due to my narrow focus with my Physics degree. (major in physics, minor in math) I was only one class from having a double major. Looking back I should have focused on computer science and not the double major. I have about half of the course work out of the way for a BS in industrial engineering. My total number of attempted hours for a BS program eclipsed the max percentage to be able to receive financial aid. I would have finished that program with a degree in IE, math, and Physics. Hell I have gotten more recruiting calls based on a pending graduation in IE statement on online resumes than I ever got without that on there

Don't wait till you are pushing 40 to start your Master's. I am starting mine Summer II & really wish I hadn't waited this long!

The two things holding me up are finances and just feeling lost. Not knowing what direction to take. I would like to build on my physics degree but feel an MBA might be more employable. I am $27k in debt for a degree I got at a juco/university that hasnt gotten me any further along than when I started, I am rather convinced that I would be farther along career wise had I not gone to college. I am certain I would be much more stable financially.
I enjoyed the Physics and the math. It challenged me mentally which I liked, though those academic challenges haven't resulted in real world benefits. So do I go to grad school, tack on another 15-20k plus in student loan debt and have two 6 figure pieces of toilet paper and still unable to get out of retail because I have been here so long? I definitely can't afford grad school on my salary/budget

I keep trying to convince myself to go back for a masters degree. In all honesty, at times I wish I had been one of the kids in school who didn't make good grades, I feel like I would have been better off. Instead, I was one of the bright kids, that teachers saw tons of potential in. Now staring down the door to 30, I feel like I let all of them down and have yet to do anything of great significance with my life

What does a persons vehicle have to do with their annual income?

well, if they happen to drive, you know, a train?

The other problem that arises with my back issues is that a lot of the "entry level" jobs to get experience inside of a lot of companies where my degree could be a springboard into the office have physical requirements outside of my current capabilities

Something to think on. If you think your back wouldn't handle the load of full time military, what about reserves or national guard? Part time and it looks good on a resume.

I have kicked around the idea, I am still not sure I can handle it at this point. I put myself out of commission last friday (read laying in bed sat and sun taking flexeril twice a day) by doing a full break job on my s-10. No heavy lifting, just a couple of hours hunched over the spindles

It may be way out there and not interest you at all, but have you considered the military? You've already got a degree, being an officer is a possibility and I don't know what it's like as far as recruiting right now but there are tons of options available. I don't have a degree but make pretty decent money all because of what the military has opened up for me. Just an idea, I know it's not for everyone, but I haven't met many people who regret joining.

I have. I had a good friend from high school try to convince me to join in late 2007 because I was having trouble finding a job with my degree. I only have a couple of options as I will be 30 this year.
I actually had this conversation with my girlfriend a few weeks ago. If it weren't for my back (7 months post op and having some issues) I would already be talking to a Navy recruiter (physics degree would transfer well to nuclear). Right now, I am fairly certain that I couldn't physically handle the load
