I have an MBA, and a MSc in engineering. I apply to entry, mid, an executive level positions, but companies don't even call me.
Companies claim to be looking for top-notch qualifications but guys with just a BSc are the ones getting the jobs. WHY ?
This job market doesn't make sense. The message they send is " don't go to the university, it is not worthy".
Anybody going through a similar situation ???
What's wrong with corporate America. They rather hire a guy with a BSc instead of one with an MBA and for the same salary. WHY ??? |

Oh,
I know a guy with engineering and bunch of other degrees - published under 40 and he was working retail!
He can;t get a job in US after 3 yrs of trying - the guy is a "genius" but since his name is not Clinton or Bush etc - no name recongniztion - he cannot get anything.
The guy is so smart and great personal skills...but no connections.
Reporters are afraid to write his story because it proves the job market has failed him. Everyone he knows personally is very supportive - lives at home with parents - reads and tried to get by as best he can - but keeps telling him he will find something! Its just BS really - but what can you say to this guy?
So - as bad as your situtation is - think of how humilating it is to be a genius with hard work and degrees but working a $8.00 hr job with no bennies....
GOod luck!
