Professional Investigation: JOBS

There are a couple career paths I would like to follow.

The first option is a graphic designer/creative director. I would love to design the packaging for products or even magazine covers or movie posters. I would enjoy creative promotional displays, packaging, marketing brochures, logos, etc.

I would have to expand my design studies and take on more design classes. Possibly computerized design, commercial graphics production, web design, etc. It is important to learn the technical requirements to be a designer.

As a creative director, one must be able to plan, analyze, and create visual solutions to communications problems. They find the most effective ways of getting messages across to audiences, whether its print, electronic, or film.

Here is the link to an internship that looks very interesting:

Another option is advertising, marketing, promotions, P.R., and sales management.

Coordinating a companies’ market research, market strategy, sales, advertising, pricing, product development, and public relations activities sounds like a promising career.

Some business administration classes might be useful for this particular career path. Management classes would be highly beneficial, as well as some journalism classes. Creative and technical writing may also be good courses.
