I was referred to this website by my literature professor, whom I respect very much. I have been applying for positions and have gotten absolutely no where even with the mention that I am graduating with an MA this August. My problem is that it doesn't matter what degree I get, my background has been in retail and that is all that potential employers see AND how long I have been working (in other words, MY AGE). So as a mature student, where will this degree get me...hopefully somewhere other than retail!!!
