I also have a degree in marketing and I am currently working on my MBA. There is a lot you can do with a marketing degree. Depending on where you decide to take it, you may want to consider getting a graduate degree, but working first is always a good idea. Unfortunately I didn't work before I got my MBA. It has hurt me a little because I have too much education for 'undergrad' internships and jobs, but I don't have the experience level for 'MBA level' jobs and internships.
Anyway...you may persue a career in PR, Advertising, Promotions, Market Research, Marketing/Brand/Product Management, etc. If you haven't already done so, try to intern somewhere. I thought that I really liked promotions until I spent a semester in a promotions firm. Most marketing firms (advertisting, pr, promotions, etc.) will hire students straight from undergrad. You may also want to start considering if you would prefer to work for a marketing firm (like an ad agency) who is outsourced to do marketing or for an internal marketing department for a company. For me, I want to be a marketing manager for a mid-sized company or eventually a brand manager for a larger company.
Start searching and networking now...I had no idea how long a job search takes until I got here!!! I would love to talk to you more if you want more specific stuff, but I am at work right now, feel free to pm me.
