Filed under: career
After 4 years of marketing in undergrad and over 1 year of “ad school”, I still don’t feel like I know all of my career possibilities. I would love it if someone just came up to me and said, “this is the perfect job for you.” So I guess what I’m wondering about are the possible careers in brand management, communications, advertising, branding, marketing, consulting, design, etc. that I would love.
This is what I’m looking for:
Something that involves creativity, and team work, but also lets you work on your own. Something that is business and strategy minded, but not too financial or numbers-based. Something that provides a great work culture, with cool people who are innovative. Something that provides friendship and commradery, without having to live at the office 24/7. Something that pays well. Something that has during/after work activities (preferably involving sports/exercise). Basically, something that is perfect.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Well I have a suggestion for you…
You have two alternatives.
1. Advertisement looks good with all that you have described. But since you want flexible timings, you could become a Freelance Ad Designer and work on short term contracts.
2. You could become an Entrepreneur in any of the fields you are interested in…but work hours will be longer.
Everything has a flip-side to it. Evaluate your options and decide.
Well, meanwhile if you wish to have some fun with Management Stuff, just browse through http://www.ideas24×7.wordpress.com
