Job searching yet?

[kelleyj]

Has anyone else started job searching yet in case they don't get in? I want my programs, but I feel like I need to start looking at a Plan B and hoping I don't have to use it. Anyone else feel the same?

I've started looking. Unfortunately I'm having the same results as grad school apps (no calls from anyone).

I don't think it could hurt to look for a job at this point.  If you get accepted, keep the job until you have to go to school, and that's a bit more $ you won't have to get on grad loans.  If you don't get accepted, you're that much farther ahead into finding / starting a job as the plan B.  I am currently employed (6th year teaching) and my plan B is to keep on teaching, so... my plan B is also to continue to work, if I am unable to get into ANY grad programs in my field.

I've began to look into teaching jobs, mostly adjunct, part time gigs. I really hope that I get accepted....

Welcome to my life... I graduated this past fall with a double major in Criminal Justice and Sociology and I cannot even find a minimum wage part-time job where I live. Between the 4 schools I applied to for graduate school and not even getting one call back I am starting to slowly fall into depression.
