Hey, everyone! I'm currently an employee at PNC bank at the retail banking level. I do both teller and banking transactions. I'm not really happy with where I am currently.
I have my associates degree in Business Administration and Marketing and will be working towards my Bachelors this coming spring semester. I know that my passion lies within Marketing Strategy, specifically within acquisition and retention but I'm feeling stuck.
How did you go about finding the current job that you have now? What would you feel is a decent salary?
Right now, I'm making a little over $34k a year, and I'm just not happy.
Want to see the real deal?

Try to balance your work right now, get into a good 4 year, get financial aid lined up, quit the job (or work it out with your employer where they might hire you back after the degree) and run with it dude.
Then in between junior and senior year at Ohio State, land that internship. How? Your grades, your professor recommendations (because you are a top student), the professional clubs on campus you partake in.
Awesome you now have an internship.....kill it, make people feel know that you want it, make sure they know you want the offer. Take the opportunity to learn, when you do they will notice. Great, the internship ends, and you have a full time offer. Finish senior year, finish strong (in case you want the MBA), but now enjoy the incredible work you've done so far, go to football games, get involved in student gov, join the rowing team....whatever you didn't have time for junior year because you were a studying tank.
Start your new 65K+ job (depending on your degree, but average for business, STEM is much higher).
All it took you was 3 years of hard work. You only get stuck if you give up on the fight. You seem like a smart person, you're asking the right questions.
My coworker at my previous job did this, and now he's make 100K+ , my GF did it and is also over 80+ and she graduated last year. It's more than doable.
Do something about it.
I am completely in agreement with you regarding the purpose of the undergrad, I've reached a point where I just need to get it done.
I do intend on pursuing my MBA down the road, so I'll have to discuss that with my advisor to find out whether there is a accelerated option while pursuing my undergrad.
In the meantime, you can pick up some quantifiable hard skills for your field. I've heard of marketers using SQL to query databases for info. Maybe learning the basics of growth hacking, a/b testing, or stats would help too. All respectable things you can throw on a resume if you know your stuff
Making 36k is fine now, especially if you're in a low cost of living, but if you bust your ass you can leave college with a 75-100k year a job and quickly increase that
