The military isn't bad especially if you go Air Force or Navy. And plus you got a masters degree so you have a shot at being an officer.

Country, field of study, GPA and job prospects. Can't help you like that.

I'm in my early 30s with a Master's degree. I wanted to teach at a community college, but it's hard to get in and now I'm a high school substitute. I want to earn my credentials to teach high school but I don't really feel like becoming a teacher right now so I hope to enlist and serve for a while.

More than a shot, you'll be an officer even with just a bachelors

United States.

Bachelor's was in Psychology. Recently got a Master's in Logistics and Supply Chain Management because I thought it would help me get a job.

GPA is a 3.5 for both degrees.

Job prospects were for analyst positions at a couple different companies.

But now that I think they're not working out considering joining the Navy.

Look up jobs in Dallas. My dad was VP of HR for a construction supply company, and pretty much all he did was manage the hiring of supply chain managers. Was always out at schools recruiting for them.

Dallas has a fuckton of jobs. Check out the waters there and see what bites.

If you go military be careful about what you tell them.

Remember, you are government property too.

That's solid. Well, the Master's is. You have a BS in bologna, but that's OK. I've got a BS and an MS that I don't need to use in my career, either, though I do so as a hobby.

If you need a career that gives you lots of free time and good pay with stability, working on boats and ships is decent. I quit my job as a neuroscientist to paint in the engine room of an oil tanker, and I'm a captain now, almost 20 years later. I am home 120-180 days a year with my family, and it only takes a couple of years to get your salary over 6 figures.

Just a thought. Vocational jobs need smart folks too, and the fact is, I didn't even realize how much of a pussy I became between college and grad school, and humble, honest work was good to fix that.
I'm certainly happier than my peers, who, in their early-mid 40's, are mostly adjunct instructors at good colleges making shit pay with no hope of a permanent job, or working corporate wage-slave admin work for applied science companies, all for relatively shit pay. I mean, the guy who helps the steward make my breakfast on the boat makes more money than 90% of most of the folks I grew up with who got doctorates.

I like the idea of working aboard ship.

How do I go about finding a job like that? Also, what will the pay be like starting out?

Alright this is going to sound really bitchy, but I've been avoiding Dallas specifically in my job search because my ex (the big one, we were engaged) live in Dallas with her new boyfriend.
Yeah, I know it's a gigantic city and we'd probably never run into each other, and yeah, I know I shouldn't really consider it a problem anyway but I've got some bad memories there and I'd rather not live there if I can help it.

Right now I'm living in the New Orleans suburbs with my parents.

You fucked up right from the get go.

Psychology was/is and always will be a oversaturated field of study.

Plus you don't even have your doctorates yet.

As for business, Logistics and Supply Chain Management is a good degree but at this point most major companies that need excellent logistics (Amazon, Walmart, etc.) already have amazing people doing those jobs.

It's all a numbers game with business.

I'm majoring in Business Data Analytics; mostly computer shit to acquire and sort the data but also has a good deal of accounting, finance, economics, programming and a few others thing that was vital to business.

It's a very in-demand and well rounded degree.

My 2nd major is in accounting because nobody wants to be an accountant.

I already have companies fighting to give me internships for when I graduate this Spring.

Chin up, comrade; things could always be worse.

Also, /biz/ could help you more than /adv/ with business related degrees and such

Sounds like a tall story to me.

Go do general labor at a construction site or go to a staffing agency and load trucks at a warehouse or assemble shit at a factory. It's better than sitting on your ass for another 7 months

Have you tried posting in /biz/ before? All they ever do is shit all over people and don't give any practical advice.

>hundreds of job applications.
That better be at least 500 applications m8. Should be sending out at least 100 applications MINIMUM every month, especially if you don't have to do bullshit cover letters. It's a numbers game and you only need to win once. Use your university career resources too. I got a lot more responses from their student only listing than using shit like Indeed.com, etc. Also, relocate if you need to. If you're thinking about the military, you better keep relocation on the table too.
