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.

thanks for the help. i appreciate it
