I can't seen to find a good paying job although I have a Masters Degree in Management

I can't seen to find a good paying job although I have a Masters Degree in Management?
I retired from the military after 20 years of service in 2002. I retired as a E-5 not too impressive, but in the military I focused more in college and not so much on making stripes. While I was in the military I earned a BS degree in Aeronautical Management (3.67 GPA in 1996) and a MA degree in Management (3.64 GPA in 2000). When I retired I could not find a decent job that paid very well, I winded up in the security field, but that also doesn't pay too well . Only $15/Hr with no vacation or sick days. This is my problem: I do not have too many marketable skills let alone experience in the civilian world. I fueled and did minor repairs on aircraft while I was in the military but I dislike that type of work very much. That is why I excelled with my degrees. I wanted to start a different career but that has not transpired. I live in the San Francisco bay area (San Jose). Can anyone suggest how I can find a decent paying (18/Hr) job with no experience but with an advanced degree? Thx

You should first of all understand how the civilian sector is so much different from the military in terms of getting good jobs. In the military, the best qualified person on paper is the one who usually gets assignments. In the civilian sector, you should realize that it is ALL politics and that unless you are well connected with the right people in power then your chances are slim to none. You are basically on your own out here. I can’t begin to tell you how many times I have seen competence being bypassed by physical beauty and sexual favors, class discrimination and nepotism are the rules of the game out here. People make hiring decisions emotionally and a lot of times sexually and then reach for facts to rationalize their decisions. Your military experience is meaningless out here as well. I entered the civilian sector back in 87 after separating from the Army as an 03-E with twelve citations and an impeccable 12 year career that began as an E-1. None of that meant a damn thing in the eyes of future employers—they simply didn’t care what I brought to the table in terms of management and leadership experience but I did get an opportunity to work for a large company simply because the hiring manager was gay and thought I looked cute. Work on the subtleties of your looks and charisma because out here that is all that matters—look at politics and tell me it isn’t so. Good luck I do wish you well

My father in law retired from the military about ten years ago. He is stuck in the security field as well. I would suggest going to the websites listed below and post your resume.

Probably you will have to check with either the state or county or even the feds, at their various websites. If you have good paper (DD 214) discharge, they will give you preference for hiring in many state, federal, or municipal jobs. Now, you will need to have good references. People willing to write you a letter of reference, as well as being able to be used as a reference. Contact various people who would be willing to put in a good word for you...as well as write a good word for you. Keep in mind that we are in a recession. With your background, you may have to move to another state, so start looking for opportunities on Career Builder.com, or check with your state unemployment division for locations of state job websites in other parts of the counry. Further into the midwest, they are looking for corrections officers, mechanics, etc. at the state level. Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. You will also have to clean up your English skills. Start reading aloud to yourself, and go on line to check out (ie Yahoo) about how to handle interviews, etc. If you are a veteran of the armed forces, you get automatic preference in hiring. Figure out which field you want to enter, and go after the dream. The average time I've heard to get a new job is at least three to six months, depending upon your skill level, and type of job.

Are all masters degrees for management "master of science in management"

Are all masters degrees for management "master of science in management" ?
Is this what it's called all across the board? I want to go into marketing and this is what the masters program would be like: My overall degree is: "Master of Science in Management" and the concentration is "marketing", but this is from a state university. If I go to a private school, are their masters programs more like a degree in marketing? Instead of a "master of science in management concentration in marketing" ??
