If u want to be a specialist, u can work for an advt agency / market research agency / PR agency etc - depending on ur skill and interest levels.\nElse as a generalist, u can join as Marketing/Sales trainee in a corporate and grow to be a head/ VP of marketing or sales.\n\nLast word: Dont u think that marketing is all about being cool and making advertisements. Its a lot more hardwork than u think, requiring finance/HR/ operations skills too.

Double major in business.  An artist is an artist only if they can SELL what they create.  A degree in business or marketing will help you do just that.  Your talent is there; no matter what kind of degree you have you will be just as talented.  Being able to SELL your abilities is what will make you a success in  your field.

i know two people in this field and neither has a graduate degree. one majored in communications undergrad and the other marketing. creativity, energy, ability to work well under pressure and good communication skills are what is needed most. talk to a few folks who are doing the job to find out more. linkedin or the ama are options. good luck.

If you want to travel, then you should think about international marketing.  I am currently working in this field, and it can require a lot of travel.  an International Business degree would get you there.  Or you can specialize in a field that you like, but its the business degrees that make you the money.

you can major in film, or for a more broad discipline (that will probably have more to offer job-wise once you finish) you could major in telecommunications.

Look for any colleges in the area and talk to their respective career centers! If you just graduated in May, than you should be relatively familiar with the current job market. Also, check close schools for an on-campus Marketing organization. Many of these organizations need companies to  come in to weekly meetings to provide some info on the current job market and to see what your company has to offer.

Speaking as a Marketing Major myself, I say it would depend upon your marketing concentration (Most community colleges offer basic nutrition classes which would give you more information on that side).  So if you are into Sales, then I would try a whole foods distributor.  If you are into promotions then I would say a place like the food and drug administration.  If you are interested in a particular food item like Milk, I'd try the dairy counsel.  It all just really depends upon where your interests lie.

It's a good major if it is something that is interesting to you.\n\nMy major was Business Administration:  Marketing.  I've been very glad I chose that major, although I will admit I had my moments of doubt because so much of it is about sales and the idea of retail sales doesn't appeal to me at all.\n\nThe business administration degree is useful in a huge variety of businesses and job descriptions and I have found many unexpected ways in which the marketing concentration really paid off for me.\n\nLooking back, I think I might have enjoyed a job as a product manager for a large manufacturing company.\n\nMy first use of the degree was as a manager for a market research firm.  I'd taken several market research classes and oversaw special market research projects.\n\nI later used the degree as a retail manager for a computer store and the marketing *definately* paid off in that position.\n\nI moved into IT for several years.  I migrated to a project management position with that company but missed the customer interactions.  I now head up the business teams for IT projects and have a major role in product management and customer interactions.  I LOVE it!\n\nGood luck to you in your degree decision and your career!

It depends on what you want to do Business Admin is more versatile. With sales and marketing you could end up doing door to door sales.  My degree is in Business Admin with a concentration.  See if picking a concentration is an option for you.

Counseling is clearly one option.  Also, there are places where your background would be great for Human Resources Department.  You might also see how you fit with marketing and so on.  A lot of it will have to do with your interests other than your degree, where your degree is just a bonus, since your degree (presumably a bachelor's) is one that is normally a preliminary to a higher degree in professions like researcher and such.  You would probably do well as a research assistant in social research, including marketing.\n\nIf I were you, I'd not write off the idea of taking a higher degree, and you could make money as a teaching assistant or junior counselor in the undergraduate program while you pursue that higher degree.  I guess we are back to what really interests you.  \n\nThe two great divisions in social sciences generally are clinical and research.  If clinical, what sort of clients would you like to serve: children, elderly, single parents, the poor, handicapped, etc.?  If research, what sort of topics?

I am also a marketing student and from what I have gathered a brand manager is pretty similar to a product manager. They are in charge of essentially all marketing aspects of a specific product. The marketing manager seems to have broader job responsibilities such as management of marketing specialists and research analysts to accomplish general marketing objectives set by upper management like the Vice President of Marketing. It seems that product managers are generally required to have MBA degrees. Does your school have an alumni program? If so it can probably hook you up with willing professionals in your field who can answer your questions and provide you guidance in your career. I would suggest to follow your passion! You will excell if you pursue what you are really interested in and it will be much easier to break the bank!

The best way is to work for different types of companies that you are interested in owning and learning all you can about them.\nYou are smart to start thinking about this now.\nI would suggest also that you get a collage level textbook on Marketing and read it completely through.\nYOu need to have a great knowledge of two things:\nMARKETING and MANAGEMENT and the way to start to get this knowledge is to go to a local collage bookstore and get these two textbooks and READ them, every word. Don't skip the one on marketing. It is just as important if not more so than the one on management.

There are too many universities to list that offer that major.  You should go to various university websites and do some research.

pick a major where you have a passion and an idea for a dissertation.\n\nOr just do what the guy before you did but a little different

I have a degree in Human Resource Manage.  I also have a degree in Business Management.  (I have an MBA too, but who is counting?)  \n\nFirst off, HR people, unless you get high up in a major corp (which often means you need a Master's and possibly a law degree as well) do not make a great deal of money, usually, especially starting out...but that is the same for marketing as well.  Typically, HR majors who want to work in that field get jobs as recruiters right out of college.  This is a cool job.  You are pretty much selling jobs.  You get to go to career fairs and things like that.  I think it would be fun.  \n\nHowever, a common misconception is that HR people make hiring decisions for companies.  This is just not the case.  Well, it may be the case for positions that require no skill or have no competition, but for skilled and competitive positions, managers make the decisions, HR just screens the people. HR has become a safety vale, more or less.  Due to employment law, our sue happy society and other factors, the HR position has become an organizations primary CYA mechanism.\n\nI don't know that one degree is better than the other.  It depends on what you want to do, in the end, I guess.  Both degrees build a foundation for success.  Both degrees provide you a foundation of education reguarding general business practice, which is marketable.  However, neither degree provides you with a specific skill that an organization needs.  (trust me, I know...I hae been there)  \n\nI don't believe one decision is better than the other.  Each degree program is respectable, relevant and marketable.  Beyond college, continued education and career experience will become much more important.  By gaining either degree, you will have put yourself in a position to become successful, which is what we all want, right?
