Step 1: MOVE FAR AWAY
Step 2: Find a job in marketing

There are just some degrees that if you pursue Louisiana will likely not have a job for you. This is one of them.

Learn this phrase: "Enterprise Rent-A-Car the company that picks you up, this is tigerbait17, how may I help you?"

If you haven't figured out what to do with it by now my suggestion is to go learn a trade.

Or take up heroin. I hear that's what a lot of failed marketers are doing these days.

Could probably do some web design stuff or sales. If you specialized in something such as marketing analytics you'd have a lot better shot at getting a good job.

Also, I assume failed marketing majors are the ones spinning signs outside mattress stores so you could always look into that.

Forget what you learned and start studying Dan Kennedy, Joe Polish, Bill Glazier, etc and make good money.

Internet marketing/SEO. I worked in this area after college and if you know what you are doing, the money is definitely there.

I've never thought that marketing jobs were scarce or hard to come by.

Same thing for sales jobs. Everybody wants someone who can sell.

Why don't you get your feet wet selling, and then go to sales director/marketing director after that?

If you're afraid to get your hands dirty or build relationships with people... then this is the wrong field for you.

Take whatever opportunity comes your way, and bust your arse at it... you will move up. There's plenty of opportunity in marketing and sales.
