Fema Employment
What would you do?
I have a degree in health sciences but cannot find a job with it. I have student loans private and federal. I do not have much job experience and have only found jobs working with Temp agencies. I feel like I have failed considering that I have to take jobs through temp agencies to survive. I have tried applying for jobs that I felt like my education would match and still have had no luck. That's why I have to take low paying temp jobs in which the employers treat you like crap. I am considering going back to school to maybe teach health or science. However, I know that means more debt but at this point I have no choice since I do not see myself working a low wage job forever. So, my question is should I continue to work with Temp agenices for now until I go back to school for teaching or get cerftified for something in the health field? (Also, when I started school I went for nursing but that did not work out so I switched to health science.). I hate to waste my education.

- It is a very, very difficult job market, but not for the health sciences field. Go back to the school from whence you received your degree, and see if their career services can assist you (you may need to speak to the Alumni Association if it has been a while). Temp work often leads to full time jobs, but you may want to seek out a certification to assist you in your job search. Even making progress towards certification may be enough to land you a job in that field, and with a degree (Bachelors? Associates? You neglect to mention this crutial detail) in health sciences already, it should not take more than a couple classes which would be offered at your community college... unless this was an online degree from a school that lacks regional accreditation. If THIS is the case, then you better think of yourself as not having a degree, and go back to school.
