Has she tried fields like insurance, marketing, or market research? I can see them having need for somebody with a statistical background, to crunch large amounts of data and draw meaning from it.
She really wants to work in the medical field, but I think she just has to get her masters to do that.
For insurance, it’s actuaries and you have to take the tests. She doesn’t really want to do that because she wants to get her masters in biostatistics.
Unfortunately, all the masters programs she is interested in start in the fall, so what does she do until then.
On top of that my hubby and I are moving out of the SF Bay area in a few months and moving to Arkansas. She can’t afford to live in the Bay Area without a good job, and there are limited jobs in Arkansas. She’s going to apply to Walmart.
Well, she did do one thing very proactive.
Last week she signed up for it, and today she went. It’s a free job network group with lots of free services and classes. She went to her introduction this morning and just called to say it’s great, and she has signed up for about 2 weeks worth of classes and help.
Hopefully, this will help the job search.
