What entry-level positions are there in this field that an undergraduate college student might consider?
There are numerous internship opportunities within marketing and communications. There tend to be a lot of opening positions, internships specific to media relations, event planning, social media management, content development, and writing.
I would encourage anyone to pursue opportunities in any of those industries. If you don't see something listed online, or if you don't see any openings on a company website, don't be afraid to reach out to someone at a company in an industry that you're interested in.
Just express your interest to see if there's anything available. Sometimes people will be willing to make a position for you if you express interest in working with them and really express your passion for the field.
