Advertising Manager Job Questions & Answers

Sort by:
I'm leaning towards a job in advertising, preferably on the more 'creative' part of the job (i.e. copy writer, advertising manager). What I would like to know is whether advertisement companies which would hire me would rather a degree in communications or journalism. Please be specific and add sources. Thank you!

I would like to go into the field of Public Relations/Image Management. I believe this would be the beset major choice because I want to pursue a career as a PR Manager, Marketing Manager, or Advertising Manager. I live in NJ so I would love to work in NYC therefore staying on the east coast is a must. It would be the best if you guys could recommend good schools in NJ and NY. Also should I look into other majors for these careers? What other job opportunities can I expect from a PR degree?

I am thinking about going for a four year degree in marketing, but I have no kind of idea of what job i'll get with it. Please include what I'll be doing too. I really want to deal with people.

I am graduating in May with a degree in Finance, but recently came to know Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Ideally, I would like to help people come to know the Lord.
