Hello. I finished college last summer and I decided to spend a year or two trying to get experience in different areas before doing a masters, mainly so I'd have a better idea of what I want to do.

Hello. I finished college last summer and I decided to spend a year or two trying to get experience in different areas before doing a masters, mainly so I'd have a better idea of what I want to do. I'm finished an internship with an NGO in a month and I'm looking about for something else to do.

What I really want to do is get some experience doing qualitative or quantitative research, but I don't really know where to look. I've heard that marketing companies do graduate jobs in research, but I'm trying to avoid getting stuck in a job for a year if I can (I'd like to do at least one other thing this year if I can). Has anyone out there got a job or internship doing that kind of research? Or has anyone got any suggestions about where to look for one? I've tried the ESRI and a research centre in Trinity College, and got nothing, and I don't really know where else does that kind of research.

Thanks
