I am 23 and graduated with a B.A. a yr ago and worked as a temp at a major software company this past yr - the only job I could find. What I really want to get into is market research/consumer research, with my long term goal of being a doing that for a major motion picture studio. I like the research side of marketing, as opposed to the sales side. In the meantime, I am in Seattle and the economy is awful. I can hardly find admin openings let alone entry-level marketing positions. I know that to do market research at most co.'s you need an MBA, whcih I plan to do eventually, but of course you need experience to get into a good MBA school. Any ideas on what I should do in the meantime while the economy is still lagging? Other entry-level jobs/fields that I should look into that may help me build skills/experience to help break into the marketing field? Should I just try to get another admin job with the hopes that I can work my way up? Any advice would be helpful! I don't know where to go from here.
