What entry-level positions are there in this field that an undergraduate college student might consider?
To start as an associate product manager, you'll need to begin as an analyst. If you have a management degree, you would likely begin as a management trainee or an associate product manager.
If you are a fresh undergraduate from a reputable business school, or if you majored in a technology field and want to enter the product and technology industry, I would suggest starting as an English story management trainee. You can then slowly work your way up to become a product manager.
