For over a decade I've worked as a print journalist. I've published hundreds of articles, I have connections in the field and I've won awards. But now the entire business is collapsing, and I can't get work. My old bosses are out of work. Papers that have published for decades are closing down, staffs are getting cut. Print journalism is dying fast, and it would be a huge mistake to pursue it as a career now.

My career is Advertising Research. It is a stable job because companies are always looking for insights into the consumer market which drives most businesses. I highly recommend this career if you are looking into going into advertising or marketing.

I worked hard to get where I am and tried a number of other industries first. I found that my natural tendencies towards organisation, creativity and innate ability to build rapport with people and get the best out of them has enabled me to be very successful in this profession. To anyone wanting to become an Account Director in a design/creative environment, I would suggest that you choose your place of employment carefully to make sure that the things that you get the most out of will be catered for. If you want to be involved in the creative, or lots of client side interaction, then ensure that that's what an employer has to offer. Its also great to get in at an entry level and make a name for yourself through hard work, contacts, and sometimes, luck.

As a career communication has a lot of potential in the future. New trends in communication are changing the way humans communicate with one another, and the increasing use of technology is largely shaping the world today. As an occupation the possibilities and opportunities in communication are virtually unlimited.

I'm an account executive in a direct mail advertising agency. I've always wanted to work in advertising, so I would do this again. I would recommend this career to anyone who is organized, detail oriented, and can deal with working under deadlines, and with demands that don't always make sense. Clients need the help advertising agencies provide, and advertising agencies in turn are there to advise on, and then produce ad products.

Tips: be sure to have a degree that is at least tangentially related to business, journalism, or advertising/marketing, and have some experience. After that, be willing to start at the bottom. One thing I've found, is that account executives don't live a glamorous lifestyle like the movies would have people believe. They also don't always come up with the creative ideas for the clients. Overall, its a fast paced, decent job that a single person, or a married person with a working partner can survive well on.

I am currently working as a web designer/internet marketer for a small family owned company. While this job pays the bills, I consider this a job - NOT a career. If I could go over the past ten years again, I would not have quit college to take this position, but stuck it out in school to get a better job. There are things I enjoy about this job - little supervision, I enjoy the internet design part, however there are also drawbacks. These include little supervision (it's difficult to know what to prioritize), the family owned environment can also be difficult at times as it's easy to get pulled in five different directions depending on which owner asks you to perform a job at any given time. All in all, I would say that this job has treated me pretty good, but I still wonder what might have happened if I had stayed in school.

I work in data entry and tape processing for a DVD distribution company. While I'm not really taking advantage of my film major, I am getting a lot of good experience in the field to use in looking for a job in LA. Low level work like this is a good way to break into the film industry.
