I have a MBA - concentration in finance. My Bachelors was in Organizational Management - concentration in HR. I do not feel that my hard work and time in school has ever helped me. It really is disheartening I do not believe that I would change anything though, going to college taught me discipline. I have been out of work since June 2022. I quit my job to take care of my ill husband. He passed away in April 2023. I started looking for work at the first of June 2023. I start a new job tomorrow, making $14 an hour. I am amazed.
