I%26#039;ve recently moved to Atlanta and have a bachelor degree in psychology. I%26#039;ve been stuck working a receptionist job for the last 3 1/2 months. I%26#039;m trying to find a job in my field, I%26#039;ve looked everywhere at least I think I have. I want something in mental health, or adolescent detention center. Im really considering moving because I need another job that can pay my bills and my student loans. I plan on going to graduate school next year fall. but I cant start until I find a job. any advice? please help.
