I am thinking a month or so... Where I live there is 1 major university, and 3 colleges! Jobs are few and far between...

It will take a while to find a job so get started now. They don't know how to do a resume and they don't know how to job hunt. I have seen a lot of resumes from college grads that say that they want a challenging job with personal growth. No employer wants to see that, it shows the person had no idea what he or she wants to do-it goes in the garbage. The other one is paragraphs about how they are team players. The employer got 100 with the same wording yesterday. Into the garbage. Better is To obtain a position as a sales trainee where I can use my strong interpersonal skills. That resume gets kicked over to the sales dept. I saw one resume that said his hobby was skydiving and then he wondered why the mortgage companies never called him.\n\nThen they think that all the jobs are in the want ads and on Monster.com. Only 10% of all jobs are advertised. Advertising costs money and hopefully a position will be filled before they have to run an ad. 70% of all jobs are filled because someone knows someone.  You have to tell everyone you know including your mother's cousin that you are looking for work. The college grad should get out the yellow pages and look up companies in his field, call and ask if he can fax his resume over and to who's attention. Fax it over and if you don't get a call back in a week, call the person you faxed it over to. Don't forget there are state, federal adn local civil service jobs, too.

Do they have jobs open in the university?  I did that.

You really need to have a connection. Also realize that more schools are becoming more strict about University degrees...(i.e. they are checking them more carefully to see if they are fake or not).\n\nSadly, I think there is more than a waiting list for some of these jobs.

A friend of mine just completed the MA program at my school & is having the same problem. She says the college placed her in a position that led to nowhere. I suggested to go to an employment agency that specializes in health care. She found a temp. position in weeks. Time will tell if it works though...

First, ask your professors and advisors for their opinion.  Your university career center can help you with determining which will be in more demand.

Statements you are making are conflicting....\n\nYou are financially independent.  You make enough to have a decent living but you still live at home and you have very limited budget for college.\n\nThis does not make any sense.  \n\nIt seems you have to set/reset your priorities.  You can't have EVERYTHING.  If it is your desire to get an education, then cut down on some of your liesure activities.\n\nMy suggestion is to start with community colleges.  Tuitions are a lot less.  You can get an AA degree and it will substitute for the first 2 years of the 4 year college.

Let's hope that this degree will benefit your current job...then you can speak to your boss about more flexible hours...IF NOT...speak to someone in the school about other options...maybe waiting another semester or possibly getting enough people together to attend a night class.

The job market is saturated right now (more applicants than jobs). Keep looking, something will come along.

Keep going, do not give up. I have been in college 4 yrs now and have 6 more classes to go. I am also tired, but in the long run it will pay off.

I'd say stay home set the example and save money. The life style change can make you or break you. Try it if not move out the second semester.

I think there are jobs for college students because the university of Texas is in that town.It also deepens on what your education background is. Austin is a very lively town. I'm sure you will find a job once you move there I've lived in Austin for five years.

Well your first out is your school. See about housing. If this does not work out then see of friends want to go in with you on a place and be room mates. A lot of times if you get a couple of friends that want to get out on their own as well rent split 3 ways can be very inexpensive. Also look for places within a 5 mile radius of the college. A lot of times you can find apartments that rent only to college students at a great rate. You can get a part time job and schedule work and school around each other. Check with your schools resource office. Most times they will have Information about Businesses that hold a certain number of jobs for college students as well. Also whatever your major is look into finding a job that allows you to get on the job training along with earning a living. There alot of things that you can do to get out. You just have to do the leg work. Use your school resources I promise in a short time you will have your own life.

See if there is a Head start program near you. Also if there is a community College near you , the prices are very inexpensive because students work there.

College may not be the best choice.  Save your money, trust me.

I am taking on-line classes now to get my degree in Business. I want to a college campus for 2 years and as much as I may have liked it, I like taking on-line classes even better. If you are young and this is you first college experience go to a college campus so that you can get that experience, but if you have done that than let me tell you have much easier going to school on-line makes my life. I do not have to take the time to drive to and from campus I do not have to rearrange my work or life to make room and time to study for classes. Because I have all day to do an assignment and I am giving my assignment for the classes before the classes start I can do everything early. If you have a family, job, and a thousand other thing that you have to do each day I say go for it. Some jobs help with the cost mine did but I was also able to get grants. I am to get my degree in December only two years and that was because I had to take refreshment classes and I had to take a break because of the hurricanes.

You should try finding a job on your campus. Usually, campus jobs work around your class schedule, so you don't have to worry about being scheduled during a class.  Also, if you haven't had a job before, school jobs usually make you work less hours, which gives you time to do your homework, go out with friends, and get used to the fact of both being a full time student, and working.\n\nSome jobs can be fun, it really depends on your personality (what you like, dislike), your supervisors, and coworkers.  The people working around you can really make a difference.\nThats what made my previous job standable... for the moment though, I'm taking a break (and focusing on school).
