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.

Im am very involved with marketing at my school. are you currently involved in a DECA chapter if so you know alot about the field. If not try to find a college with a Delta Eplson Chi chapter they will lead you on your way in a career in marketing.
