how is your advertising job? what do you do? create campaigns and ads?
i am in school right now and i think that's the direction i want to go...advertising. i have always had a knack for it, and have lots of good ideas, and have always thought that field would be a lot of fun to work in.
any help/advice would be great. i have a good background in psych. too, and advertising just looks like a entertaining job.
granted all clients probably wouldnt necessarily be "fun"...but it looks like an enjoyable feild.

Ahh see that's the tricky part. I work on the PR side of the office trying to generate publicity (like free plugs in mags and such) for our clients. I help support and extend the brands the ad side builds. I don't really have that much of a hand in the daily goings-on of the ad side but I can tell you the creatives have fun at what they do. Advertising isn't always fun but it's not like cutting grass or working fast food either. You're not on your feet all day and you get to meet a lot of people. Cool business trips paid for by someone else aren't all that bad either.
Take an intro to advertising class and see if that's for you. You could be an account executive responsible for managing the direction of campaigns, you could be a copywriter, or you could do the creative art work and play on the PC all day. There are all types of jobs in the field of advertising. You just have to see what part you like best. And the only way to do that is to take a few classes or see if you can get an internship somewhere to see what happens on a daily basis.
