Graduated from a state University with Bachelor's in Econ in may. Having problems finding a job because all "entry level" analyst positions require 2- yrs experience with SAS, R, SQL, SAP, etc. I have a programming background with STATA but no one uses that program. As much as I would love to know how to use the others I lack any proper training to do it. Resume / GPA is kinda weak, didn't intern while in school. Any ideas on other jobs that I can put my knowledge to use?

I have an econ degree, was in the same position you are
I was fucked, I ended up working a bunch on non-related part time jobs to make ends meet.
I ended up going to grad school for an econ program but it doesn't look like it's going to improve my job outcome since terminal masters are weak on quantitative data/skills
I'm considering just dropping out, working part time and then learning programming and picking up certifications from a local CC

OP the type of nigga who stays in his room playing wow all day, then call me a 1% cuck for taking home 10x his salary
Just learn R. It's free, Stack Exchange is useful for learning it, and it's slowly phasing out SAS.
