First time I've seen this forum... What's your major or what's your degree?

[TheNig]

Just wondering. I have my bachelors in healthcare administrations but I am currently in my last yr of grad for dentistry. Will be looking for a post grad program and residency at the end of the year.


What's it looking like for y'all?

Man...careers in video/film seem to be a fukking waste, i am amazed at the people in this industry/make it. Thinking of going back to be a paramedic or rehabilitation worker. Media jobs are so hard to get and pay like shyt.

From what I understand, that's an industry where you really have to grind it out and wait for opportunities. It's also a "who you know" and "right place at the right time" type of deal. There's also a lot of competition, which is basically why you have to grind it out.
Then again my friend went to a design/media school and got a job as an animator on video games straight outta school.

BA arts. Polisci/English double major. I wish there was a site out there that can show you job opportunities by degree. I'm having a tough time finding work as someone who doesn't have a lot of experience. I'll be looking at entry level jobs like "okay " but then I see "2-5 years experience required"

A lot of people end up in jobs that have nothing to do with their major. Get any decent job you can, then you embelish the responsibilites you had there and tailor it to the needs of the job you want.

It was hard for me to find work when I graduated too but these resources should be helpful to at least get your foot in the door.

Michigan State's Poli Sci department has a solid website with a lot of resources. It talks about possible careers for poli sci grads and it has links for a lot government jobs. You should definitely check it out: What can I do with a major in Political Science?

Go to sites like idealist or Craigslist too. Idealist has a lot of postings for jobs, internships and volunteer experience that should be helpful. I've never used it but I know a few people who made connections there.

I've used Craigslist before and I had a few interviews with law firms from postings on there. It's a good resources but you've just to be careful. If it looks too good to be true, if their contact info looks sketchy, or they don't have a legit website/email then don't bother.

Check out websites of local nonprofits in your city (local Urban League, ACLU, AADP, etc). If there is a job posting on their site, apply ASAP. If not, send them an email and say you're interested in volunteering. Volunteer experience can make up for having a lack of professional experience in some situations.

Also, since you had a double major in English, you should check out this site: https://www.odesk.com/o/jobs/browse/c/writing-translation/ It's basically a working from home site and people post a lot of contracting/freelance jobs that involve writing.

Good luck, breh. I know how frustrating it is when people turn you down for not having experience but you've just got to keep putting in applications. Keep grinding.
