I'm starting my masters in September. Hopefully I'll get a job before then, It will be a lot easier to finance it.

I just started about 2 weeks ago...my cover letters are getting better each day. They first one sucked.

Congratulations on starting your master's degree in the fall! Yes, a job makes things a lot easier... Like Honey YoYo says... "A dolla make me holla" LOL... Good luck to you!

I've only got an Associate in Human Services and a year away from my Bachelors so my options in my field of social work are limited. I've been applying to some banks and stuff. Resume and cover letters are getting better.
