I'm retired but I have a list of skills but not a degree. I have some college, but my search for a work at home job looks pretty slim. I retired from a Casino here in Michigan that our local Tribe owns, not just one but 5. I have a great concept on how a casino is operated. I started at the bottom, and because of all my hard work and study analyzing and challenges, I moved up very fast. I love a challenge, and I'm also a problem solver. Multitasking, is pretty much tops with me, I have to see the big picture, analyze it, question it, solve it. #interview #workfromhome #advice #jobsearch #education

Hello, I am currently having a struggle to get a part-time job. I am a senior in high school, and I have a lot of things to pay for to graduate in May. I am not sure what to do at this point. The money and payments keep stacking up and I'm scared it is going to get high making it where I won't be able to pay for all of it by May of 2024.

I am currently looking for a part-time job in the Stone Mountain or Snellevie area. Does anybody know of jobs that are accepting applications from first-time job seekers who have little to no experience in some areas?

Every job I have applied for either never got back to me or didn't accept me. I have been given a few offers in the past and they wanted to have an interview with me but they trying to schedule it during my school hours. I need an interview either on Friday evening or on the weekends.

More education isn’t always the right choice.

In fact, sometimes it’s the wrong choice – especially if it results in tons of student loan debt and no real promise of career progression.

Other times, pursuing education is the right choice and a requirement to support your career goals. Going back to school is time-consuming and hard work, so before you jump into the classroom, consider the potential return on investment. It’s worth the time and effort to figure out if more education is going to work for you.

To help you decide if more education is worth it, below are 10 truths about degrees and their impact on your civilian career.

1. If you want a management role, you’ll probably need a bachelor’s degree.

While it’s not always the case, most companies expect candidates for management positions to have at least a bachelor's degree. This is especially true for larger organizations and those in more competitive industries.

2. A degree without relevant work experience means you're entry level.

A degree can open doors and provide a foundation of knowledge, but it doesn't necessarily equate to on-the-job experience. If you're applying for entry-level positions and don't have any relevant work experience, your degree may be the only thing you have to offer. Even if you have a graduate degree, you’re going to need some real-world experience in your field to stand out as a strong candidate.

3. Having an MBA doesn’t guarantee you’ll earn six figures.

While an MBA can be a valuable investment, it's important to manage your expectations when it comes to salary. An MBA is not a magic ticket to a six-figure salary – it's just one factor that may be considered when applying for a job. Your experience, skills, and overall fit for the role will also play a significant role in your salary negotiations.

4. Having an MBA doesn’t equate to having business acumen or experience.

An MBA program can provide a broad understanding of business principles and practices, but it's not a replacement for hands-on experience. To truly develop your business acumen, you'll need to roll up your sleeves and get some real-world experience under your belt.

5. If you’re relying on a degree to open doors, the school’s name + ranking matter.

If you're trying to break into a new field and don't have much relevant experience, the reputation and ranking of your school can make a difference. Employers may be more likely to consider your application if you have a degree from a well-respected, highly-ranked institution. Please note that this isn't the only factor employers consider – your skills, experience, and overall fit will play a big role in your chances of getting hired.

6. If you have tons of relevant work experience, any “check the box” degree will do.

If you already have a wealth of experience in your field and just need a degree to "check the box," it may not matter as much which school you attended or what your degree is in. If you have the relevant experience and skills, you may be able to bypass the need for a specific type of degree.

7. Speak with mentors in your field – before – you sink money into a degree.

You should have a clear career goal in mind before you invest in a degree program. Speak with mentors or professionals in your desired field to ensure that the degree you want to pursue is the right fit. This can help you avoid wasting time and money on a degree that may not be relevant to your career goals.

8. PhDs are typically required to teach at the college level (but not for much else).

A PhD can open doors in academia, but it's not a guarantee for success in other industries. In fact, sometimes being overqualified with a PhD can even hurt your chances of getting hired for certain positions.

Employers may be hesitant to hire someone with a PhD if they think the candidate is overqualified or might not want to stay in the role for very long. If you're considering a PhD, carefully consider your career goals and the potential drawbacks of being overqualified. (Talk to your mentors first!)

9. The value of an associate degree will vary depending on your career goals.

Associate degrees are typically seen as stepping stones to bachelor’s degrees, but they may not have as much value in the job search process as bachelor's or graduate degrees.

While they may be useful for certain technical or vocational careers, they may not be as beneficial for those seeking management or leadership positions. Before you begin a two-year program, you will need to consider the value of an associate degree in the context of your specific career goals.

10. If you’re earning a degree because you just want to learn something, go for it (and disregard the previous points).

If you’re pursuing a degree simply for the love of learning and personal growth, none of the above considerations may matter to you. In this case, the value of your degree is entirely subjective and depends on your own personal goals and interests.

The Bottom Line

The value of a degree in the job search process will depend on your specific career goals and the requirements of the positions you’re trying to obtain. While a degree can certainly be an asset, it's important to carefully consider the specific role it will play in your job search and balance it with relevant experience and skills.

I am very frustrated with my job search. I've had a handful of backs, but when I return the call, they never get back to me. I've been looking into getting training and education. But I can't afford it, and all of the free training and education resources are not available in my state and if they are its all tech related. I'm horrible at techy stuff and it bores me. I would like to work for a non profit or healthcare or mental health, but there's nothing. #jobsearch #advice #education
