My BA History degree isn't doing jack for me other than just being there saying "yes I can do the work and complete a long-term goal". The key to my job market is personal connections. Sure I had to go through EMT and firefighter training to get qualified, but to make myself stand out I had to make connections through different departments. Put in the work, get to know people, volunteer for everything you can, stay on their radar screen, and then when something opens up you are top of the list.

I got hired at my new EMT job through this method. I used a guy I know who works there as a reference. Who I worked with at my old EMT job, which I in turn had gotten by getting to know someone on a volunteer department. Work every angle you can and don't burn any bridges.
