Help! I don't know what i’m doing (a Journey into marketing)

This is just an intro, ill continue as my journey continues.

Hello,

I’ve a confession to make, I have never written a blog before... BUT, we all have to start somewhere. 

I was a member of a lost generation within England, at everything major point in my education, our government made drastic changes to both the school and examination structures, now couple that with an easily distracted, excuse-searching kid and boom 12 years late you’ve got me, a person who has no idea what to do with their life and less than great grades to go with it (CURSE YOU WORLD!!!). Following my A-levels I toyed with the idea of university but you know.... The grades. Deciding not to go to university I thought i’d follow my Fathers footsteps and go into sales, after the first week I thought it wasn't for me and after 3 years I was pretty damn sure it wasn't, so I decided to go travelling for a couple of years. Preface over and 2+ years down the line here I am and after finding love and moving to Germany I am now ready to sort out my career “but what do you want to do Joe?” I hear you ask, well after much consideration i decided that the marketing route would best suite me because....

A) I like interacting with people 

B) It’s creative 

C) It’s not the same thing everyday.

Currently I am applying, but unfortunately it’s not been so easy, being in Germany, every business wants degree level applicants and even at intern level they are looking for people with a couple of years experience which just baffles me, where do I get my experience from if not an internship! I mean COME ON the whole point of an intern is to be the the person with no experience. This has taken me down the startup route in the hope of finding a cool company that might take a chance on me, plus they mainly operate in English so that a bonus (although I do speak German, its always easier in your mother tongue)

Although it sucks getting lots of sickeningly nice rejection emails you’ll get a chance at an interview, fortunate for me i have one tomorrow so fingers crossed.
