What entry-level positions in this field might an undergraduate college student consider?
There are definitely a broad range of entry-level jobs. You could do financial analysis, a business analyst position, a data analyst, or an accountant.
I started off unemployed, which was super fun, but I did do some temp work here and there. That covered a lot of the roles I talked about earlier.
So even if you can't get exactly what you want at the start of your career, there are other options. There are staffing agencies and temp work. It might take a little longer to get where you want, but that's available.
