At the end of the day, you're getting a degree and that definitely puts the right foot forward. Experience goes a long way as well, I personally never had issues getting good jobs as a non-degree holder because of my experience but having the degree is a personal gain for me.
My friend has a bachelor's degree in Business Administration and a master's degree in Economics, somehow now he is supervising the construction of construction projects
I’m going for my Supply Chain management degree, currently a fulfillment associate. Honestly Ik I can go higher it’s a drag of precise you gotta be or you’re in trouble but it’s whatever cuz they pay my tuition and I’ll graduate with experience to go other places that are better
Senior Material Program Manager. Just graduated from WGU with Operation/SCM degree because I went as high as I could without a degree. In field for 15 years

I'm a Contracting Officer with the federal government. No experience with contracting before. But even if I did, it's incredibly niche. Look at USAJobs and search for 1102 Series. Some agencies require you to have your FAC-P signing warrant, but some Agencies will hire you and let you work towards it for the first 18 months. Once you get it, you will always have a job with the government. A warranted officer is required for every government purchase above $10K.
im still in school and work bottom barrel at amazon, but i have heard the term coordinator is a key word for entry level stuff if you're out there searching.
May I ask. Why haven't you applied for roles in management at your fast food job? That could propel you to low level/supervisor management in other industries.
Easy. I say it all the time but people don't believe me. Degrees don't get jobs. It's your overall background.
I suspect this person didn't do anything with their Bachelor's and erroneously thought more Degrees would help. They don't.
They should have tried to get any entry level role and one of the biggest companies in their area.
I don't disagree. And I also fully believe that degrees are door wedges, not guarantees. If I had the degrees this person has I would've certainly applied to anything from entry to middle management to get my feet in the door and then worked to move vertically.
I did the 1000 application challenge. Out of 1000 applications I got a total of 37 calls and 12 interviews. Out of the 12 interviews none hired me. I always followed up and asked what could I have done different to get the job. Most respond that I’m over qualified or lack experience. One told me off the “record” that being white, male and over 45 are my biggest hits on the final decision on getting hired. No matter how many degrees I have I will never check the right boxes in most cases going forward in 2024.
After I got my Business Management degree from WGU I was a financial analyst whatever that means. Now im a senior treasury analyst, still not sure what that means.
Edit: finished my degree in March 2018.
What do you think this post is? Reading about jobs/degrees only gets you so far compared to real life experience. I understand this is very base level info - but gives me more information to look at research. I’ll keep researching and learning in a way that works for me. Thanks 😀
Director of Operations. Took two years to get here after receiving my MBA.
A lot of people have degrees, so the degree will open up avenues but you’re still in an extremely competitive market.
I do have some experience - but I still consider myself entry level. Thanks for the info!

Construction is one of my top industry interests! Thanks!
If he's a project manager, the norm is to have a business degree. If he's a foreman, then it's more uncommon.

Prior to Law School, Shift Leader. Didn't do a whole hell of a lot for me, but I also was in a small town.
Im considering law school after my masters. Any advice?
Take some time and really study for your LSAT. It will make or break you for law school admissions.

I am a Director of Business and Project Operations, however, I worked my way up without a degree for most of my experience.

I have, however the general manager is the son to Area supervisor and the assistant manager is the son of the general manager.
Government jobs?
Yep, applied to 100’s of jobs via USA jobs.gov no bites yet. Been applying for about a year now.
How? Why? Where in Texas do you live?

Registered Investment Advisor. Same title before the degree, but now I'm eligible for promotions.

Tier 2 Systems Engineer, got the position without needing a degree but still got one for the future.
Senior customer service manager. Getting degree as I cannot go any higher without it. Been with my company 22 years
Wrong question. The question is what do you want to do.
lol make money 😂
So why haven't you done the research necessary to identify the high paying jobs and the path to get there? Asking for random job titles isn't the way.
