Hey, HN.
5-year lurker here.
I just finished college and am trying to get a decent job as quickly as I can. My degree is in math, from a top 20 school, with a low (2.9ish) GPA. I have a few years of entry-level IT support experience, a few years of college math tutoring experience, a research project in applied math, and some basic programming and CS skills.
I’m willing to do…
* any kind of work,
* in any field,
* anywhere in the country with a reasonable cost of living,
that…
* pays at least a $50k salary and benefits,
* doesn’t require significant travel,
* has a consistent, 40-hour schedule,
* doesn’t require me to bring work home,
* isn’t a call center, and
* that I can start immediately with my existing qualifications.
Based on my background and goals, I’ve narrowed it down to programming, software QA/testing, business analyst, and IT support (in that order of preference). Which of these, if any, would you recommend that I focus on? Or is there another field I should be considering instead? Any insights on this would be massively appreciated.
