I am sure there will be a litany of negative responses but a few people will post something insightful. What follows is my problem, what is needed is the best solution. This is copied from a private message I just sent someone:
For example, because of cash flow issues I might have to drop all my classes (assuming i can, the deadline passed). It is far more important for me to get a job now than it is to finish. Conceivably I could do both, but getting a job in today's climate is a ten hour a day project. It could take a week, it could take six months. That pressure is causing me to totally lose focus in my classes.
I already have the MBA.
So, given the facts of my case, what course of action would you suggest? I am totally burned out from school. In theory I should be able to complete the two classes I have left and look for a job but I feel that until the semester ends, it is one or the other. Difficult to focus on both. Cash will run out before the end of the semester.
No troll, they love hiring recent grads. You'll get stuck working at a rental facility for a year or 2 and then work your way up to a lucrative position.
I know a few people who have done this and been successful.
This is a second master's. Already have an MBA. Had I started the semester with a real job I would have been fine taking a class, maybe two, and enjoying it. But since I have serious cash flow issues now, it is completely impacting my ability to focus.
Getting a decent job to start with might take awhile. It's not like I have recent decent experience. I figure that it will be a ten hour a day process that could take at least three months. It could take a week. However, if cash flow does not increase soon, I risk not paying my credit cards and student loans, and that will HUGELY impact not finding a job at all.
I do have good skills but yes the last decent work history was ten years ago during the dotcom era.
Hence why getting a job is not a simple matter of answering newspaper ads. I know what I am up against. For me this is going to be a military operation where I have to put up a personal marketing experience, tailor each resume for each company, network locally, etc. All of this will likely take time.
And it is time I do not have while taking these grad level finance courses. These are very interesting but they surely won't increase cash flow in the short term.
