I am a business marketing major in college, but I don't know what to do when I get out, any suggestions?

I am a little indecisive and any helpful suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Answer:
Network, network, network. Even with as high demand as accounting majors are, they still have to network like crazy to get big 4. Marketing is even harder, since your field has a harder time getting those contacts and landing those jobs. A career center at your college should be good, but even better is a professional organization on your campus. Find the most prestigious business organization in your school and join it. Attend every meeting, get very involved, and eventually you'll catch a professional's eye in a networking session. It's about what you do with those organizations, not just whether you are a member.

Talk to your college's career center and look at the companies recruiting marketing majors. See what positions they are trying to fill. To give you a big generalized answer: Most companies that see a marketing graduate see a sales trainee. If you don't want to go into sales, change your major. Otherwise, try to find some people you know who are in sales. Talk to them about their jobs. The earlier you explore job opportunities the sooner you can see that sales is worth a try or you can change directions. Some sales positions are: - Route sales: Like someone who travels from grocery store to grocery store and takes care of the Frito-Lay displays. You work with the store managers on this. - Inside Sales: You do telemarketing. There are various levels of this: Business to business, and Business to households. - Outside Sales: You travel to client sites and try to get them to buy your products/services. - Retail Sales: You work in a retail store setting like your local Macy's or Ford dealer.
