Thanks for the wealth of advice. I actually contacted a development director at an opera company and she basically reinstated that I was doing the correct things. So, I'll try to answer the questions.
1-Entry-level position to me includes a LOT of filing, typing, data entry and a salary of around $30,000. I would even take less if it were a 9-5 job where I felt it was good experience and I could get a second job somewhere.
2-I do not have a masters degree. I was thinking about getting one due to the fact that I cannot find a job without one.
3-I am not looking for jobs in Clover/Charlotte. I gave up on that a LONG time ago. You're right, they only hire bankers. And sales people.
4-I am not ONLY looking in Atlanta, it's just a preferance so I can get in-state if I end up going to UGA.
5-I know that networking is how people get jobs. I think it's unfortunate, but I know tons of underqualified people who got jobs just because their drinking buddy knew of an opening. Unfortunately, my resources are tapped in that area. I can't publicize the job hunt at work, and my resources through DM have given all the help they can, but don't know of anything. I'm seeing some of them next week, though, so I'm hoping something magical will happen.
Once again, thanks for all the assistance. I'm sure there are other people as well on this board that will benefit from it.
