Question: What are the best opportunities for a new grad in marketing who's interested in advertising (excluding sales) advertising/ making commercials/ market research

Answer: No matter what you do you canb't exclude sales. After all, isn't that what marketing is all about? The best marketing people I know have had some sales experience. \n\nWhater are your specific interests? If you know what motivates you will will be more inclinced to do good work. Realize, however, there are a gazillion Business Administration grads with MBAs from top schools out there that are after the same jobs. \n\nIf youare interested in advertising, look at a local paper, take a marketing assistant position to learn the business and forget everything you learned in school because the real world is already ten years ahead of what you learned.
