The best thing to do is to try marketing before you spend your money on a degree. The traditional advertising market has showed hardly any growth compared to online marketing. It makes sense, because the internet is still new, and it is no where near saturation. So, the good news is, that it is very easy to try this new form of marketing within a busy schedule.

Yes, it would be a good career.
Advertising jobs come in three categories ... sales jobs, administrative jobs, and creative jobs.
Sales jobs pay the best, but have the most headaches and stress.
Creative jobs are wonderful, but harder to get because those are the ones everyone wants. A degree and a great portfolio are the best tickets.
Administrative jobs can pay well (ceo, cfo, etc), but most do not (mail room, production manager).
I have worked in all three, and loved every minute. Started in creative, went into sales, and ended up in administrative (the top level, good stuff).
Pays well. Lots of fun owning your own firm. Plus, you can't outsource what I do to India. |
