What sort of entry-level business-related jobs are there?

[Thorne]

I'm surprised.

... that is, if you mean you aren't finding any work when you say 'dry spot'.

I've been hitting the want ads pretty hard. Ton of entry-level stuff around me. Federal / classified help desk stuff, desktop support, etc.

If you mean 'you've had it', that I understand, too. Can't help you there - I've guarded a ton of businesses, but don't know much about them.

I'm a bit surprised too, and it's the first (can't find work). This was hardly what I expected to happen with my background and experience, but life is throwing me a real zinger of a curveball. I've been applying for anything I'm even remotely qualified for in my area, from Helpdesk to Jr. Admin stuff.

I'm hesitant to move for monetary reasons. That said, whereabouts do you live? If the market is truly favorable, moving may be my best choice.

Oh, that's disappointing you're not getting an IT position Are you looking for internships too, or you need something that pays more?

Business wise, you could try for entry-level or internships jobs in just about any area like Accounting, Marketing, HR (apparently there are HR assistants), Finance seems harder to me (but I don't know), Gen Mgmt, etc. Do some searching and see what positions don't require a Bachelor's? Many would be assistant roles. Or do you mean only IT related business careers?

I'd be willing to take an internship, but it has to be paid. I no longer have the luxury of working for free.
