I will be short. I am about to obtain my PhD in sociology but have no ambition to pursue a career as an academic, which was my original intention. I have been looking into the best ways to put my research skills to use and I have been gravitating heavily towards marketing. I find marketing research quite fascinating and I am wondering how it might be possible to make this transition once my PhD is completed? I have two years before I will finish my PhD, so i have ample time to prepare myself for this transition. In the meantime, I will be self-studying and perhaps taking an online course in marketing and statistics to brush up on my skills and be able to put something more relevant on my resume.
Any thoughts on how I can make this career change would be warmly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
