So I'm applying to schools come June 1st, but I've already graduated. I was wondering if there were any jobs that look good on a resume? I'm also considering applying to a basic medical sciences masters program at Midwestern, but if that falls through, are there any jobs people would recommend? I'm looking predominantly in the Chicago region.

Two pieces of advice....
#1. Do something you love. Nothing you could do will reflect more positively on you than picking something you are interested in or have a passion for. Never do something solely for the resume. Your resume will shine most when you stay true to yourself

#2. Pick the cheapest option or the one that makes money. When you matriculate every penny saved saves you a lot down the road (with interest where it currently is). If you are aiming for CCOM, this is definitely true given tuition being well on its way towards $60k/year
