I think my longer term plan is to get an MBA but for the shorter term, I need a job!! I just don't know what I want to do now that I am here.
I was getting a business degree and nearly completed it, but then moved across the country, so I ended up getting a regents bachelor's of arts degree, which is basically a general bachelor of arts degree. All of my upper coursework though is business courses. I am not really sure how to spin this degree to get a job?
Also, I have never had a real job in my entire life. I did own a small cloth diapering business and have that as experience, but aside from that, my work experience is waiting tables and slinging espresso.
Help? What do I do next? We are moving to who knows where in the next 6-9 months so I am going to wait to job hunt until then (I will be looking for part-time work) but I feel like I should be doing something now, aside from working up a resume.
work up a resume and figure out what area of business interests you most. Find a volunteer organization locally that you can get a bit of experience with-- most are desperate to find volunteers to replace the paid staff that they had to cut.

"Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law?
Jesus said until him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And, the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
On these two commandments have all the law and the prophets."
you ran a diaper business? Which means you sourced supplies, balanced the books, shipped items, focussed on customers....and realized you didn't get money without a sale???
You are the golden employee. REALLY. you know the connection between productivity, pay, and sales. GOLDEN.
Waittressing? High stress problem- solving. Physical endurance. Customer Service.
Shine your work. Really, shine it. You have tons more experience and problem-solving skills, and business face than most graduates will get in their first few years.

I did do very good work, but when I used that to apply for entry level jobs I got turned down for being overqualified. LOL Ironic. Anyhow, that will definitely count towards my 1 year of work experience (I need two for grad school)... I need another year and I guess I don't know how to say this but I don't really NEED to work so I guess I am kinda picky about what I want to do. I always just planned on owning my own business, but that is a bit trickier with dh's job.
