I have yet to figure out the exact variables, but it seems that bachelor's degrees are valued for a lot of jobs I've looked for. I happened to end up (weird story) in a class within one week of getting off the plane that trained me for a state job. I didnt breathe a word of how I got into that class, because I was in with several people who said it had taken them "several years to get into the class". I just pretended I knew what "slippers" meant and "auntie" even though I had absolutely no clue! Fast forward. I then went to work as a substitute worker, and I just take any shift any job- and I just smile and do a very consientious job and then I hopefully get asked back! If you get in at the medical center, I've heard stories of nurses working 5 yrs on nights and still not being given a dayshift job. I think it may be pretty hard to be accepted in the "inner circle" there, but who knows. Part of it is being open and having a good attitude and working hard. GL!
