Know-How Exchange : Career/Training

Greetings! Before delving into my question, please allow me to properly introduce myself and situation.

I graduated from a state university in May with a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration. My major was Marketing Management and I graduated with cum laude honors. While in college I worked at a gas station (5 years total there), opened an Internet business on eBay where I earned the silver Powerseller rating, had a sales internship, and was the president of a student organization. I always like to keep busy and I'm very ambitious and motivated.

After graduating I found myself confused as to what direction to take. I expanded my business, and worked as a consultant for 2 companies. The consulting roles were temporary, and last month my vendor for my business went bankrupt. I'm now unemployed and find myself needing some advice from marketing professionals.

I'm passionate about marketing because I love the creativity and customer psychology aspects of marketing. My personality is such that I'm creative, driven, results oriented, good at project management, excel at researching, and love psychology.


I'm having a tough time finding a job though because I'm really unfocused on a specific career path. I would like to be a marketing professor and entrepreneur, but I'm also open to working for a company helping with marketing. I can't seem to narrow my search down to a specific job within marketing. There are so many! Advertising, brand management, Internet marketing, market research, etc. All seem interesting to me, but thats likely my problem. Which areas are promising today with my personality and abilities?

Any advice and assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
