What entry-level positions in this field might an undergraduate college student consider?
There are many entry-level data analyst roles that involve querying databases and polling data populations for business needs. These positions often mirror the work I do.
Additionally, there are database administrator roles where you manage the overall database structure and how people access it. Many entry-level positions exist in this area as well.
I also mentioned data visualization, which includes building dashboards and visualizing financial data. Entry-level roles are plentiful in this field too.
For example, at JP Morgan, we have a summer internship program annually where we host 50 to 100 entry-level data analyst interns. There's a lot of work available at the lower data analyst level.
