Education Advice for Marketing & Advertising Career
Question Posted Tuesday April 29 2008, 10:30 pm
17/f
I am student, currently enrolled in grade eleven, with a 4.0 GPA and a keen interest in advertising. At school I am taking Marketing 12 and finding it very interesting, despite having a highly unexperienced teacher. I enjoy the planning: developing themes and ideas for products or companies. I am mostly interested in the creative, strategic, and psychological aspects.
I realize the field is incredibly competitive, but I am still interested in pursuing this as a career. If anyone could tell me their personal experiences within the field that would be greatly appreciated.
I am also interested in knowing which post-secondary institutions are most suitable for either marketing or advertising. Would I be graded on my abilities to actually draw out advertisements? I am capable with designing most visual aspects of advertisements, but my drawing skills are lacking and I certainly would not be interested in attending an art-based school.
Thanks for your insight!
ps: If I am from Canada, would it be overly expensive for me to attend a school outside of my country? The USA specificially.
