I'm in my 40s and cannot afford to start on wages below $30,000 / yr.

Answer 1

Congratulations! You will find a lot of information through your university's career placement center. Also, it is important to be flexible and not overly selective. It is possible that you may have to explore other areas before you get the dream job. You will need to have a strong resume and network every chance you get.

Personally, it took me 2 years straight out of undergrad to get full-time employment, I am now pursuing my Masters degree. This is the stuff they do not tell you in college though, because you just assume you have this degree and jobs fall out of the sky. In terms of not having experience, the federal government and most state agencies will waive experience with a college degree. Try the site that I have listed below, I had a job within a month.

Go to yahoo yellow pages and get the names and numbers of the firms in the area you would like to work for. Call and ask if you can fax over your resume and to who's attention. Most openings are filled before they are advertised, so the key is to get hold of them now. When you speak to the person ask if they have any openings at this time. If not, ask them if you know what firm does have openings. Follow up with a phone call to the person you faxed to in a few days for the companies that do have an opening/

You should submit your resume to leading jobsite like www.monster.com, www.careerbuilder.com. Also you should consult local placement consultant in your area. In the meantime, look out for an option to work online. Although it wont pay you like full time job but you can make extra cash in your spare time. I am a part time worker doing work online at home, so I would like to share a link where you can make $600-$1500 in a month working at home. The work need to be done is posting/answering a discussion and uploading any photo/image of your interest. For details visit

I will publish few more genuine site in couple of weeks, where you can earn money. You may also write to me at [e-mail] (Note: When u are planning for a home based online work, be careful because most of them are scam and ask you to pay initial money. never pay money to any such site.)

Answer 4

That is a fail in Australia - you would not have been awarded a degree - you would not have passed any subject where this was your highest grade. So no, you will not be accepted as a Masters student in Australia.
