By Professor Jan LeBlanc Wicks Advertising is a very competitive field. You'll compete with many others for jobs. Many are on the lower end of the scale.
Advertising is a demanding field.
You work long hours and can expect to revise your work several times before it is acceptable to your boss and the client. Then take electives which fit your interests. For example, you might take a graphics or computer-assisted publishing elective if you're interested in writing and designing ads. Take JOUR 4463 - Campaigns if you'd like to learn how to apply all of the material you learned in your other advertising classes. Finally, try to get an internship with an advertising agency or other media organization.
