OPT - job requirements

I finished my MBA degree recently and I'm currently looking for work with not much luck. I read somewhere that the job must be related to the degree and that one of the job requirements has to be a Masters degree.

My problem is, most jobs I've seen that require an MBA degree also require many years of experience (which I do not have....I *JUST* graduated!!!!). How does one get around this vicious circle? I'd be well qualified for jobs that only require a B.A., but am I allowed to accept one of these jobs?

If hired, does the employer have to check with immigration first to see if I am a match for the job, or do they send any sort of report to immigration? Does immigration check up on you to see what type of job you found?

The 1-year OPT clock is ticking....I'm down to 10 months!

I dont think so

The related to field restriction is on CPT and not OPT. Infact you dont have to fill the paperwork for the company / job bla bla in you application,

I think is very hard to limit fields since they are all connected. Let's say you have a Business Major or Computer which has millions and millions of possible jobs that relate to the major. I do not think there is any problem if you get a job which is slitely different from one category.
