I'm one of those people. I did marketing for CPG then DH got transferred to DC and there is next to nothing here. Chicago, NY, San Fran  are top with LA, Boston, Seattle(less so)  are the places to be. There are other brands in the Midwest - but it requires moves to less dense areas (places where land is cheap for manufacturing)

I went into B2B side for services and there are tons of options. It isn't glamorous but it pays the bills.
 
Agree on MBA. Certificate won't do anything for you without years of experience, even then it's just a check mark.

As someone who has been doing it awhile, I can tell you that everyone thinks it's so easy - but its not. It's getting more analytical. Talent, creativity and a sharp business sense is required. Its not paper pushing. You have to wear lots of hats and failure is inevitable.

I have friends who are like "your job must be so fun" or "wow, I would love to do social media for a living. Look, I just posted a picture of a cat wearing a hat and got 5 likes" - don't be those people.  They are a dime a dozen and cant hold a job...
