Jobsearch

Well... my first post on a trial spin. Lets see... I've been kinda-sorta looking for a job the last month or so... I graduated five years ago from a top 30 national University and didn't know what I wanted to do at the time so I went back to work for a major wholesale /retail Corporation I had worked for over the summers during college. After five years of which my body has started to tell me to get the heck out NOW.

Let me tell you, trying to change careers, let me rephrase that, start a career after a hiatus is tough. Can't get into an entry level position because it requires minimum 1 or 2 years related experience. Does that even make sense...? What the heck am I supposed to do to get experience if I can't get an ENTRY LEVEL job...?

So a friend offers to set me up at his company for an IT Consulting job. Great right? It Consulting shmamulting, its a job replacing mice, monitors, fixing printer issues for the end users at a Financial firm. Ok so I go in and interview.... find out they are hiring Helpdesk only.... hmmm... okay... say yes do the whole interview thing.... do I really want to take a major paycut to sit at a desk all day listening to people complain about their inadequacies at using a computer? I dunno....Interview goes well.... I am to hear back from them on Monday... send thank you letters etc.... DO I REALLY WANT TO DO THIS?
My ideal job would be " entry level " analyst or associate at a financial firm which is what I graduated from college with a Major in Economics / Political Science for. But nooo, I can't find an entry level job in that field because I don't have experience.
DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE?
