Besides sales. I took Mass Communitions as degree, but I didn’t provide the the field of jobs. I was wondering if it were probable to find a career in animal science, engineering, or become a college is English, History, or Drama (Not Esl though). Because I already looked at careers I get with trade school or in the job market and just not interested. Not interested in being a plumber, customer service, paralegal, mechanic, driver, repairman, vet tech, or medical assistant. I would be nice if they could lead to higher positions in the fields I’m looking for, but the fields I’m looking at require more education. There are jobs I can get with professional certificates, but not any I want to do as a career. Right now, I work with dogs at a kennel.
Well, is there anything you are really interested in? I believe you need to be really interested for it to work out.
Well, to be an engineer you need at least a BS (or BA?) in engineering, or at least Physics. Unless you plan on going back to school, engineering isn’t feasible. “Animal Science” is a field that would also require a degree in a different field, and likely a graduate degree, more in the field of Biology or other hard sciences. I’m not sure what “become a college is English, History or Drama” means, but if you mean “become a college professor…” then you need a degree in one of those fields, and some experience teaching. If you don’t want to go back for schooling, then you are out of luck for the most part.
It’s going to be very difficult to help you with so little information. You basically only told us 5 things:
- 2.7 GPA
- Mass Communications Degree (unknown what type of degree)
- You don’t want to do any trade school jobs or any jobs that require professional certificates.
- You have some work experience with dogs at a kennel
- You don’t want to do any job that requires more education
It seems like you really care more about the idea of having a competitive job than the job itself. As the previous people have mentioned, you really need to figure out what field you really want to be in because you listed science, English, humanities, and performing arts.
Honestly, the only thing I could see potentially working is finding a place that involves mass communications and applying at a lesser position (possibly not even related to the job you want) and potentially moving your way up from there.
No, it’s just the I’m interested in working in are competitive, and not sure how to pursue further education with my gpa (trade schools don’t have anything I’m interested in). Not interested in mass communications anymore, I was only in it because I liked movies and TV. Most of the jobs right now are PR and sales, and not looking for that.
There’s still plenty of less prestigious schools that would accept you and if you do well, you could potentially move to more prestigious schools. As for the fields you “think” you are interested in, they aren’t really competitive. The competitiveness is found more in the individual jobs themselves.
As for you personally, you really have no clue what you want to do and really have poor realistic expectations of the job market. Overall, I’d suggest you do a lot more research and narrow down to what you really want to do, then we might be able to give you advice.
Ok, but I still don’t think getting a job that involves mass communications is a good idea, because I don’t want to end up in the sales, pr, or marketing departments. The only area I would like to get into is the writing or technical areas. At 31, I don’t think I have enough time to escape out of it into something I like. Mass Communications is a BA by the way.
You really don’t have a lot of options based on the information you gave us.
- Work in low-level positions and get promoted to a higher position (aka get lucky)
- Know/meet the right person (aka get lucky)
- Apply to every interesting place you can and have an amazing interview and hope they think you’re worth their time in educating/training (aka get lucky)
- Go back to school and work your *** off
- Accept that probably won’t work in those fields or as those occupations
I mean it just comes down to that today in our society, you either have to know the right person, have the education, or have the experience. There’s just really no reason for a business to “train/educate” people when there are so many trained and educated people willing to work.
Ok.
Been suffering on and off from low self esteem and depression, especially after getting fired.
