at my age (late 30s) some jobs like signing on army are out of the question although i would kill my own mother for the opportunity
since its coming to a year of unemployment, if you were in my shoes, would you:
a) take an engineering or IT degree from any of the pte unis (since i have 'wasted' my chance on an fass degree)
b) continue applying for jobs and hope for a miracle
c) join the blue collar workforce (eg. lorry driver) |
a) taking another degree (regardless of disciple), is NOT going to be an automatic translation of securing another job - unless you are considering joining as a 'fresh-grad' equivalent into the new field/domain, but then why would employers consider you vs another applicant who is really a 'fresh-grad' in terms of age
b) yes to press-on and dont give up
c) yes in the interim, any available job grab first, talk later
