Where and how can I get an entry level statistics job in Southern California?

I have a Master's degree in psychology and have taken almost 2 years of statistics. I would like an entry level position but all the job openings I find seem to be in market research.

Where and how can I get an entry level statistics job in Southern California?
First and most obvious is a government statistician post.





Not so obvious is in pharmaceuticals - clinical trials and associated research demand data-aware professionals with good knowledge and an understanding of stats.





Another area is in education - the companies and or agencies who develop standardised tests and exams, not just psychometric instruments but school examinations.





There are also many many jobs in the financial services sector which may *sound* like market research positions but are actually very stats intensive with real job output.
Reply:haveyou tried the public school system? Some systems have programs that they need evaluated and they collected a lot of data that needs to be analyzed.





Pharmaceutical companies too.
