My brother-in-law opened a new Chiropracti office when I graduated and I worked there to help him out.  Now, 3 years later, I am ready to move on.  I liked being an office manager for my brother-in-law and want an executive assistant/office manager position in Manhattan (and I thought the experience would help me get that position).  Now, should I tell people that my brother-in-law was the Doctor and I worked for him (would that cheapen the experience)?  If I find it tough to find an executive asssitant/office manager job with an engineering degree, is it too late for me to start an Engineering career or a career in technology, since I did not do Engineering for 3 years (althouhg I used some Engineering skills in the Chiropractic office - website development, patient in-flow/out-flow, etc.)?  Thank You.

Contact the school you graduated from.  Almost every school has a Career Center/Career Resource Center, and they offer services to graduates, too.  You should be able to work with them to update your resume, look through job postings and get some pointers on the current job market.  \n\nGood luck, hope it helps!

I see that you have a JD - you should try doing contract work as Document Reviewer.  With all the investigations into corporations going on the jobs are plentiful.  If you live near a metropolitan area the sky is the limit.  I just completed an 8 month job doing doc review and I am a paralegal, not a JD - JDs are preferred.  Check out the career websites and you'll see what I mean. Some are conducted remotely (very few) but they are mostly for short durations and could probably work around your migraine schedule (I was plagued for years with them, seem to have gone away).

Short answer, no...\n\nLong Answer: I am a college graduate, having done the traditional after-high-school approach. I have been in the market place for many years so here is my opinion, for what it is worth. \n\nCOllege is not for everyone. Some people should NOT go, only because their head is not in the right place to learn and utilize the knowledge to "learn how to learn". What that means is something you already know. Hard work, perserverance, and theh ability to learn are the keys to success. The college degree is an evidence of that, but not a guarantee. There are many educated derilicts in the world, many from ivy league where the degrees have essentially been purchased with little demand for performance. The party school is almost considered a right of passage, and I think it is a disgrace to all that did it the right way. \n\nAs a person who interviews people for hire, I know that a college degree will be a proof of study, and I admire some schools over others for their ability to turn out good candidates. BUT, the ones with work experience are highly prized, degree or not. \n\nSO,  FOR YOU..\n- If you need an entry level job- get a degree ...YOU specifically  don;t need it for this\n- If you need the education for a particular skill in business, engineering, healthcare- get a degree....YOU do not need it for your own businesss, but it could help you grow. A good book or partner  could help also\n- .If you need to have a need to compete in the workplace for promotion in the future - the degree will be an asset for promotion in many areas - YOU may need it, but not for your own business\n- If you need the sense of self accomplishment - the degree is a source of pride- clearly, YOU don;t need it. \n\nIf you still want one, night school is always available. NOBODY questions whether you partied with the frat boys all day or  worked your @ss off at night plus day. \n\nThe degree can be an asset to a better paycheck, in general...but some have been successful without it. Bill Gates is a college dropout for instance. I do notice that you are working very hard to be successful...will you need to do that all your life? A degree may allow an income without 18 hour days eventually \n\nSounds like your head is on straight, enjoy your life and don't worry about what others think. Your parents understand the conventional wisdom of college degree = success....The problem is, that is not conventional wisom anymore. DO they want the degree for their pride or for yours?

I think your degree will be perfect for that job.  You'll have experience in both areas (the people and the planning).  I am not sure what degree is required, if any.  But, I do know that in the inpatient physical therapy section at the hospital I worked at, there was an activities director...I thnk she did not have a degree, but a lof of experience.  I am sure you would make more money with a degree.

Yes. I did and it's been one of the best decisions of my life. It was exactly what I needed at the right time. I was stuck where I was with no chance for an advancement or real future. The company I'm currently with, I have a lot more opportunities and it hasn't taken me long to work up. I'm already making more money now than I was with my old employer and I'm happier with my position.

I know a few people that are licensed but couldnt build up a clientele so now they work other jobs and only their spouses benefit from the degree. \n\nIt is a word of mouth business and most people that get massages on a regular basis stick to the same person and dont want to switch. \n\nUnless you can secure a job at a salon and they can garauntee you a good number of jobs i would look at another carrer.

Take the Bus. Mgt., I've been in the Hospitality Business for 20 years, and I turn 36 next month, I've worked at golf resorts, hotels, restaurants you name it I've done it and you don't need a specified hotel/motel degree, I'm a manager now at a restaurant and it isn't that great, I've bartended food and beverage manager, it's knowing the right people, making friends and connection, and working hard, being diligent at whatever you do, and given time, the right people will notice and by the way honesty works real well, my connections will soon make me a lot of money. Last thing, get your degree and learn all you can about money, the rule of 72, compounding interest, everything.  I was a microbiology major and later became a financial analyst and that taught me what I needed to know.\n\nPlease respond if you have further questions, always happy to help someone!

I would talk to your husband about finding a visiting nurse to come by and take care of your mother-in-law. Then... go register with a Temp agency. There are a lot of them out there. It gives you the chance to get back into the work force and find what you really want to do.\n\nAs for your age... that should not make a difference to a company that is looking for the right fit. Again, Temp agencies are good for this.\n\nGood luck!!!

I recently graduated from UOP with an  MBA.  I wanted to find out what type of clout my degree had so I did a search on it.  You can do the same thing.  Do a search in Yahoo or Google with the phrase "MBA from University of Phoenix" or "BA from University of Phoenix".  Do the same thing for AIU. The results will include people who have received degrees from the these institutions.  Some of the information comes from academic profiles for jobs in which the person is currently serving. This information will help you decide which institution you want to attend.  As a further example, following is a profile I found from using  "MBA from AIU" as a search phrase in Yahoo. \n\nChief Medical Officer\nRamon W. Mohanlal, M.D., Ph.D, MBA\n\nRamon W. Mohanlal, M.D., Ph.D., MBA, is a physician with specialist training in internal medicine and cardiology and has 12 years of experience in the biopharmaceutical industry.  He is an officer of the company and currently holds the position of Chief Medical Officer. Prior to joining Interleukin Geneticsin July 2005, Dr. Mohanlal spent three and a half years as Medical Director at Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Inc, where he was responsible for developing its anti-inflammatory drug portfolio. He was co-founder of, and served as acting CEO and  Director of Research and Development at Syncytium, Inc. Prior to that, he worked for Pharmacia and GlaxoWellcome  in clinical drug development  positions of increasing managerial seniority .  He holds a MD and PhD (Cardiology) from the University of Leiden, The Netherlands. He obtained a MBA from AIU and attended the greater Boston executive management program at the MIT/Sloan School of Management. \n\nTip:  You may have to scroll through a lot of promotional sites for the school you are searching on.  Click in to the listings that look like they have information on a person's credentials.  I hope this helps.  \n\nP.S. the spellchecker is having problems, so please overlook any misspelled words.

Well since I helped get you the job, I think you should take it!! It will help you to become a more rounded person, it will help build character and self-esteem! I know my brother and after you get routine down, things will be fine. There are always bumps in the road, its how you get over them that matter. Kiss Lani and Miranda for me, oh and what should we do for dinner??

At this time graduates of Chirpractic colleges earn the doctor of Chiropractic degree (DC), not a doctor of Chiropractic Medicine degree (DCM).  The term medicine is often misleading in that Chiropractic, as is Allopathy (Western medicine), Osteopathy, Naturopathy and other health care forms are each a different form of medicine.  I graduated from Cleveland Chiropractic College of Los Angeles in 1991, which had an outstanding out-patient clinic that prepared me for nearly all possible problems I have been asked to evaluate and treate, and feel it is one of the best in the world, not just the USA.  All of the colleges which are CCE accredited are professional and have high standards.  If you are interested in attending a Chiropractic college, it is important to consider the region you would prefer to live in while at school.  If you are most interested in a traditional approach, then Palmer Chiropractic College in Davenport, Iowa, might be best.

Okay!!  So I have been thinking the same thing that you have.  I am currently dating my boss, and it is getting very serious.  Our workplace absolutley does not allow this and he could lose his job if someone higher up found out.  So I have been kinda looking around at different jobs.  I think that I would put him down as a reference, because he is the boss.  He is the one that worked with you and supervised you.  Then employers dont really need to know about what goes on in your personnel life, so they really do not need to know the details of who you are marrying and how you met.  Just make sure your fiance knows that.  All it is is separating your personnel life from your professional life.  That is what I would do!!!!

You definitely do not want to burn any bridges. Diplomacy is the key, regardless of how you feel about the job. Do not allow your emotions to surface (at home of course you can break a few plates). Keep searching for a job after regular business hours and do not leave any option unexplored. When the right opportunity knocks, follow the company policies, and most importanly follow up with most influential people at your old company from time to time. Never complain or raise issues since you never know when they will come to haunt you. Best of luck

I wouldn't mention it. I've had similar situations and they were afraid that I would leave them for a CS job. A lot of people in other fields believe mistakenly that there are CS jobs in abundance. They aren't privy to the facts that CS jobs are quite rare. Hence, it will be a liability if you let them find out you have a CS degree.
