" How long must I wait to get a job ?" Sounds good to me.

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.

I �d go with MJ Misa. And the answer is - a hell of a long time in the current climate.

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.
