Quote:1. Safe route: Advertisingthis is what i have been planning on doing for a while now. I would really like a job creating ads. I just fear that I'll start at the entry level for some shitty company and end up hating it and losing my motivation and such. I saw a presentation freshman year at SAatchi & Saatchi and some dude who made the Tide commercials said he worked odd jobs for a while and created a portfolio. That could be an option as well.
Especially with your zany sense of humor going into advertising could be fun. You could get an entry level job working in either creative, copy, or account management. Get paid shit (less than $30k) for a few years, but if you do well, and take to it, you can make some real good money in creative. And that has to be one of the most fun jobs in the history of the world.
As far as sales, I hate talking on the phone and I hate selling people stuff, so it's not for me.
