I think you should prefer HAVE TO to replace must when you ask a question... |

I think "How long do I have to wait to get a job?" is better.

Thank you all ... I was confused by the presence of " for " in the question and whether it is needed or not |

Yes, I agree that "must" sounds too formal in this question. Bruce |
