What entry-level positions are there in this field that an undergraduate college student might consider?
At Siegfried, for the University of the Pacific in particular, which is where I graduated from, we have what's called a co-op program. Siegfried partners with the school to do an internship.
Throughout that seven-month internship, which spans two semesters, it's typically a fall and spring or spring and summer kind of deal. Starting out in that intern position, like I did, and just getting my feet wet and learning what is truly happening in the field was so important for my growth and for getting to where I am today.
