I was sold on finance/accounting from the start and so I have a great understanding of the entry level opps/career progression of these fields, but wanted to learn more about the exit opps for kids who graduate with a marketing degree. To be honest I don't know of a single marketing major going into marketing (it's decent for law school, med school, PWM, etc) at places like Nike, Gatorade, espn etc where they seem to hire a lot of MBAs. If I wanted to double major in marketing any ideas what career paths I might be able to get into other than Starbucks barista?

Majored in Marketing, now I want to work in Finance... (Originally Posted: 01/23/2013)
I (stupidly) majored in marketing from a small, Jesuit school in Philadelphia (Saint Joseph's University). I graduated in 2010 and have been in the marketing industry ever since.
All I am looking for is an entry/junior level position within back/middle office operations (trade reconciliation, portfolio administrator, client services, etc.) to get a foot in the door.
I've tried everything, LinkedIn to find references, applying everywhere, even starting to look into staffing agencies. Any advice out there? I'm not in a position to quit and just take an unpaid internship so I feel like my hands are tied.
Just an idea of companies I've been looking at
State Street (connection here) Legg Mason (connection here) JP Morgan Prudential Morgan Stanley (connection here) BofA
Thoughts? Please don't make fun, I know I'm in a bad spot. Thanks.
