 As an irresolute career explorer, it is a part of my nature to waver between different job options, one of which happens to be far different from criminal investigation. This career path falls into the category of  and marketing. I'm assuming that I would have to major in some form of business in order to meet the requirements for a job in this field, but business programs are one of the most impacted programs in colleges, so that is definitely something to consider before finalizing anything. Also, there is a lower salary for those who are beginners in advertising, as opposed to those who have more experience in the industry, as they would provide better quality work. However, the positive aspects of product marketing are that this job requires qualities of a person who is tech-savy, has good communication skills, a cooperative, persevering attitude. For me though, the most important plus point about this career, is that it allows for creativity. A person can develop all the other skills overtime with experience and practice, but creativity is something that comes from within. I think I would enjoy this job because I would be able to have fun with it. My only constraints would be creating a message that the consumers can remember, but there aren't any restrictions on how I get that message across. One example of creative advertising is the energizer bunny commercials for batteries. This is one commercial that people haven't forgotten to this day. The success achieved from the creation of this commercial series made someone's career.

  1. I never knew you were considering going into the advertising business Tanvi! It would be really cool if you really decided to go with this career path. I could say that I know who's behind that world famous commercial that everyone will always remember:)
