Education and Career Forum

Im doing my B.E but I just dont find myself happy.Im more facinated by advertisments and have always wanted to be a part of it.So as the first step I have decided to join a short 6months diploma course & work as a trainee in an ad agency right after my engg.If I like it then later I can take a MBA in adv & marketing.I believe I would be happy to work in this field for the next 30-40yrs of my life.But my family is afraid that im taking a wrong choice.With their pressure now im a little worried too.Doing some research I have found out that the salary is good.And even if the market goes down every company will have to advertise.I can start as a trainee and grow with experience.Who knows my BE certificate could even fetch me a job as a Marketing manager of an IT company. Please do give me your honest suggestion. Thank you.

Advertising is a great idea any day for those who have interest in it.. There is no need for you or your parents to feel insecure about it specially with a qualification in engineering behind you. And if you get to do MBA in marketing/advertising in a good college there is nothing better than that. To tell you the truth even i belong to the same situation. I have finished my B.Tech this year and am interested in the field of advertising. Therefore am looking to get in some good B-School next year in the marketing discipline. The best B-School for this field is Mudra Institute of Communications-Ahmedabad. Do remain in touch so that we can exchange any information. By the way great to know someone who share similar interests.
