I need some suggestions or input of some type. I just turned 33 and my background has been in the IT Computer industry and I have no degree in it either. I just finished my bachelor in marketing and now I am taking my MBA with an emphasis in leadership. I have been to the school career services and they were really no help at all or I just got someone really stupid!! It was some older man who had no direction to offer me let alone he didn't know the latest trends or what type of jobs I could look into for my field other than telling me to look for entry level sales jobs.

I just feel completely stupid because I really have no idea what I want to do as far as a job or what areas I can get into with my marketing and leadership degree once I am finished. Right now I am having a hard time finding work in marketing or advertising places with no experience. I knew switching industries was going to be hard but I am finding it a lot harder than I thought. I have no idea where to find internships or what resources would be beneficial in helping me.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
