I just graduated college with an English degree, and have been looking for a job. I currently work retail, but they won't give me full time, and I would like to get a higher paying job anyway. I need a job with decent pay and health insurance. Does anyone have any tips on job searching?

I currently do Help Desk support, we provide support for several companies as contracted support staff. Mostly password resets, VPN troubleshooting, and typical untrained employee issues...etc. I have 2 associates in IT sys administration and networking, as well as 2 certifications, but there's little room for advancement. There's only 3-4 level 2 analysts and about a handful of actual technicians(who actually setup, repair, and configure systems). I'm relatively new and there's plenty of others who have been there longer. It's not a small company either but I know some pretty smart guys on the team and they're still level 1 help desk employees after 5-6 years. Anyways, I know this is kind of a typical entry-level position and I'm fine with that but I think the pay could be a bit better, what's the general next step in an IT career path? How long should I stay there in order to establish a solid career related work history? 2 years? 4 years? I'm more of a hands on guy, I don't mind dealing with customers but my passion is getting something to work, not helping someone reset their expired password. What kind of opportunities should I look for as far as job searching? Any other tips?

All my life I wanted to be a surgeon, but lately I've been losing interest in it. I actually started growing in interest in History and International Relations, but I'm not too sure what kind of jobs there are. Also, I don't want to switch so quickly from something I've been so sure about all my life to something I just recently started becoming interested in. So far I'm planning on just getting a minor in International Relations and being a surgeon, but I don't want to waste 8 years doing something I'm not completely happy with. Help?

I graduated with a degree in sociology and have no idea what to do with it! I keep finding these jobs in social work that require a master's degree, and I don't know how to get my foot in the door! Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not really sure what I want to do, but I know that I DO NOT want to be in any type of customer service or anything like that. I've had experience with that and it's not for me. I think I want to be a family counselor, but I have no idea how to go about doing this. What can you do with a degree in sociology? I know it's a broad area, but everything I've seen requires a specific degree.
