tips for getting a real job

[MadMax]

Whereas I strongly agree with the military option—mainly because it benefitted me so much—it doesn't sound like it's an option in this case. Still, there are other non-military government jobs you can apply for. With a degree in communication I would recommend the State Department as Strategic Communication (basically international diplomacy through information) but your skills could also have use in the Department of Defense, and I am not talking about marketing/recruiting but in what is now termed ‘Influence Operations.’

Be creative in your job search and you will be surprised at some of the doors that open up! Also, don’t think that your college degree is the end of your academic life; I have two grad degrees and numerous certificates that have been very beneficial in my career field. Remember, you are competing against everyone, and everything that you can do to distinguish yourself from the crowd will serve you well in the long run!

Good luck!
