This is something that I don't understand. When I was looking for a job, I would look at the ads in the paper. I look for entry level or something that would get my foot in the door. I assume that entry level means you have very little or no job experience, that it should give you an opportunity to learn about the job and build your resume. Nowadays, entry level would likely require 1-2 years experience and if you lack it, you are most likely out of luck! What is the point of getting the experience if they won't let you have the job that would give you the necessary experience! AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!

Okay, it seems like it has been a few weeks and I haven't heard from the woman in the bank. The company keeps the applications on file for six months anyway so if they have something that matches my qualifications, they probably contact me. I am also doing my writing and trying to apply for grad school.

Now, here comes a dilemma and I need some advice before I could make a decision about. My parents are still suggesting that I study for an Associate's Degree in computers, get a job with a company and then go back to school to study what I want. They told me that they would pay for it and that I don't have to pay them back. I don't know what to do about this scenario, it sounds tempting, but I am not sure whether to do it or not. Any advice will be appreciated.
