This has been my career to date:

Receptionist
Administrative Assistant (who also did desktop support and training)
Systems Analyst (how I got this job I’ll never know!)
MIS Support & Training Specialist

I am currently unemployed because I moved from one state to another (because of my fiance). I am finding it very difficult to find a position here and I’m in a quandry over how to proceed. I don’t have a degree, and while I have certificates in various (Windows NT, Relational DBs, Networking), I am not an MCSE. I feel as if I’ve just “fallen” into the jobs I’ve had, done well in them, and worked for high-profile, well-established companies. Now I’m wondering if what I should be doing is getting a job that is not 24/7, and go back to school (or at least get certified!). Has anyone been in this situation? Any advice you can give? Are there usually state run programs that help pay for people to go back to school? I will start calling around and finding out myself but whatwondering if anyone has been in a similar situation. Thanks!
