I feel like I’m in a hopeless battle of job hunting. I have few things that look promising, but not enough to make me feel secure in that. I’m graduating with my MBA in Marketing in May, I’ve had an internship, a co-op, a fellowship, and other academic accolades throughout my program and showcase the dynamic individual I am, but no job. Every where just says immediate hire, or I don’t meet qualifications, or I never hear back from people I try to reach out too. I’m stuck. Any advice or guidance?

I'm at a career juncture and have decided on a career in anti-money laundering as my new path. I'm also highly interested in additional education to further my career and am eyeing graduate school.

Incoming MBA, I have my tuition paid for and rent covered (I will be an RA). So the only thing I need to pay for is food and entertainment. Do you think 20k is enough to last me through the 2 years?

Or… should I take a small loan?
