My mom has her masters degree and has been looking for a job in el paso texas. I live away from her, because I live in Missouri and I keep telling her to go look for a job in other cities and states. She doesnt want to leave my sister there in el paso texas because my little sister is still in high school and should be graduating in 3 years. My dad is retired and so now my mom wants to support the family. Where could my mom find a job in the usa with that degree? Do you think she should move out of el paso cause in el paso texas they dont have a lot of job openings. Not unless you are in the medical field or teaching field.

Do you think your mom would be interested in teaching part-time? If there are local colleges near where she lives, she may qualify to teach some undergraduate classes in say, Latin American studies. It won't pay much, but it will get her into the field. Some colleges/universities don't require a teaching degree (elementary/secondary) to teach at the college level.
What about immigration services? Does she have a working knowledge of Spanish? She may be able to help new immigrants fill out forms for medical help, etc.
Even though she may not use her degree, she may want to look into working in a library- either at the public library level or at the university level. There are many jobs that require a college degree and a foreign language. She may not be able to get a position as a 'librarian' because that requires a Master's Degree. But, she may be able to work in a support staff position.
She should also take advantage of her college's placement services. Most colleges and universities have a department that will help graduating students. She should make an appointment and talk over her prospects with one of the counselors.

$11k is surprisingly little for a master's (at least in most fields, I don't know about yours). Also, the economy isn't the greatest right now, and not everyone can have a job. If you spend a few years working on a master's, the economy might improve when you finish. On the other hand, things could get infinitely worse, and your time would have been better spent building a fallout shelter and learning woodland survival skills. Ultimately the right answer is the one you think you will be happy with.

She could take education extension courses and then be qualified for teaching. She doesn't actually have to finish the courses, just indicate that she WILL take them. She could be hired as a probationary teacher and then receive tenure when she finishes her courses. Texas seems a great area to teach in her major subject.

She is qualified to teach, just depends where. I would make the suggestion that she teach at the University of Mexico in San Antonio, TX.
