Will going back to school help you find a job?

If you could afford it why not? Going back to school would polish the skills you have, would sharpen your mind and would make you more equipped with better job prospects and promotions. Learning a new skill in a vocational institute would be desirable, would be a welcome change as long as the skills are needed. So it would not be too difficult for you to get a job when you graduate later. The experience you have gone through while working should make learning easier to relate to. It's always worth to give it a chance!

Nope, i feel studies has nothing to do with a job. Job is completely different criteria, a graduation can help for a job, but finding better or cool job will not be obtained going back to school.

my hubby has been out of a job since last august and he has been to job fairs and the like. he has the experience, but most people in his field are looking for college degrees which he doesnt have (in that field anyways).

That's exactly why I started college this year. I worked for 2 1/2 years at a pet hotel...and while I love animals, I knew I didn't want to work there my whole life. So after considering what kind of job I want, I went back to school to major in social work (I want to help children). *I'm also going to be taking some business classes so I might be able to open my own animal sanctuary one day.

yes,i am thinking of going back to school,and i'm working on it.you know,i majored in urban geography,that's a really cool subject.Not just for a better job,but for my insterest. Ok,what i want say to you is:just do it.

Hi marketresearch, A couple of points. Generally I think that if you improve your educational level then you improve your choices in life. That's certainly a good thing. However, some areas of employment are saturated. I did a HNC in Computing. At the beggining of the course the tutors told me I would have no problem getting a jog. At the end of the course they were saying that the market was flooded. Their jobs depend on getting people to study their subject. Try finding out the real job prospects before making a decision. Secondly, we are in a terrible recession. Getting an education will not increase the number of jobs. It's tough out there - but it's not impossible. I would recomment getting an education. Take a subject you enjoy.Try to choose an area of work where there are jobs. Good luck.

Well, maybe it will or maybe it won't. It all depends on the school that you go to and your major. If you are in a major that is in high demand and you go to a school that is considered one of the best in the country, then you have an advantage over many people.
