While on that note, that's the only way to even get an interview these days: to know someone. Otherwise, your resume is 1 of X resumes submitted for a position with company X online. But I digress, I don't want to derail the purpose of this thread.
For those asking why I'll be working with TSA with a Bachelor's in Economics and a Business Administration minor, just look at the economy. I dislike TSA's principles just as much as the next flyer, but some of us really don't have a choice or say with the economy the way it is.
Bachelors in Economics and a Business Administration minor? A Bachelor's degree with those two things might not even get you in the door if you want to use them (at least a Masters would be required). As to working with the uneducated/high school graduates, well, get used to it. If you go anywhere that manufactures anything, those are going to be the people doing it. They make a product that makes the company run. Everyone else is overhead and replaceable.
Have you considered the military? You would go in as an officer. That would provide you with experience and you might just enjoy it.
