Do I need to get a masters in marketing?
I am currently getting my bachelor's degree - my major is anthropology and my minor is psychology. I am interested in a career in marketing, marketing research mainly. Do I need to get my masters in marketing or will I be able to get a job with my bachelors, even though it is not in marketing; however, it does involve understanding humans? Thanks...

I'm currently studying for the GMAT, which is the entrance exam for getting into MBA/marketing programs.. and I can tell you from a liberal arts background (I have a BFA in graphic design), a MBA will -really- help you if you want to pursue a marketing career. Especially if you studied something that was non-business related, a MBA program will give you the core foundation classes you need, as well as other concentrations you want to go after (ie: finance, marketing). Otherwise I'm pretty sure i wouldn't be able to go after the jobs I've been eyeing. You probably should do some research, see if it's really want b/c it's a lot of money and time invested in it and go from there. Good luck!

Depending on what career you're interested in, a Masters degree could be worth the money. If you already have a career, look into tuition reimbursement through your employer. If you're looking into programs that will advance your skills as an employee, your company will value that as an investment. Generally speaking, a Masters degree usually equates to a higher salary and a higher 'level' of employment. "According to the U.S. Department of Labor, average weekly salary for a masters degree holder is $1,129, almost $200 more than a bachelors degree holder" Check out the link below for more info on master's degrees

I work for a company in the area of Marketing, Communications and Fulfillment. What is a good pay rate?
I am currently making 10.50 per hour with full benifits and well I've been looking at the averge rate and I'm way below. But I live in SC. How likely is it that I will get a raise, without having to ask for it? I'm one month away from my BS in Work force Education and I would like to stay employed with this complete at least until I complete my Masters in Business and Marketing. Is it wrong for me to request a raise. I've been here for six months and well I've gotten the normal 90 day increase of .25cents. I like what I'm doing I just think the pay should be more. I have a child to think of and well I'm fitting the bill for my education not my employeer. HLP!

You can get an MBA with a marketing concentration or you can get a masters in science in marketing. Most people get an MBA. You choose your concentration based upon your career. If you are still in school or just beginning your career - think about why you are getting your degree. A lot of firms have mgmt training programs and afterwards you are expected to go into an MBA program. They have minimum levels of experience required for candidates with MBAs. If you don't have any experience and you finish your degree - you might not be able to get in the door because of your degree. They aren't allowed to hire MBAs for lower level jobs. A lot of wallstreet firms are that way. Do some research -- go out to some firms where you would like to work and see what opportunities exist for MBAs with and without experience. Next question - what do you want to do with your degree? What was your undergrad degree? Do you want to design product marketing, pitch the products or do sales? Sales is the largest area and you can sell products or work on client relationships. Food for thought. Attached is a link to morgan stanley's page for undergrad and graduate students.

Masters Degree in Business Marketing?
I just graduated with my BSBM and am seriously thinking about pursuing a MBA. I donĂ¢€™t know what to expect, my last program was based around team work and presentations.

In my honest opinion, you don't really need a degree. With regards to Internet marketing it is more important that you got something to show for. If you start your own company, no one will ask you if you have a degree. Rather, they would like to see proof what you are capable of.

Hi, congrats on your decision to get into internet marketing...if you do it right, and work hard, it will pay off HUGELY! You really don't need a degree. All you need is to educate yourself. Ask yourself...how much would you spend on a degree? Then take that money and invest it in educational materials. General Internet Marketing education: From my own experience, I have learned the most from the following internet marketing resources. - PPC Classroom - Joel Comm - Steve and Tim (Commission Blueprint, Niche Blueprint etc.) <-- Most valuable, comprehensive and easy to understand internet marketing information out there IMO. To learn SEO - SEO Book (seobook.com) <-- no aff. link - SEO for dummies (actual book) that should get you a long way on internet marketing. Also check out forums, like warriorforum, digitalpoint etc. Good luck, and if you want more info let me know.

What career paths are available for someone with a BS in Computer Science and an MS in Marketing or MBA
What career paths are available for someone with a BS in Computer Science and an MS in Marketing or MBA?
I recently graduated from a very reputable engineering school with a Bachelors of Engineering in Computer Science. After landing my first real job, I have realized that coding is not what I want to do for the rest of my life. I have an extrovert personality and feel like my talents are best suited by being around other people instead of being trapped in a cube writing code. I have always considered getting my masters in something, however was never sure what degree would best suit my technological background. Would pursuing an MBA or getting a Masters of Marketing open up some career paths for someone with my background looking for more customer/social interaction as well as a higher paycheck in the long run? As a Software Engineer right out of college, I am making a lot more than many of my peers who studied business as an undergraduate, however I feel my talents are best suited in the business world. Any thoughts, opinions, or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I would compare this to employers in the business world who want "Six Sigma" trained employees. It's often not required, but sometimes preferred.

No. If you have master's you are supposed to be better than any cim-er. Go ahead and don't let this thing prevent you from applying to jobs. by the way, in my personal opinion CIM is total absolute crap as they offer nothing more (even less) than regular marketing major program.

Did you check with your guidance counsellor? My guess is that you can be a teacher......perhaps....and then a guidance counsellor giving same advice. Good Luck. Happy Life!

The Masters degree in Education administration means you can be a principal or vice-principal. You do not have a teaching license so you cannot be a teacher. Normally you cannot get you Masters degree in Education Administration unless you have been teaching for 3 or more years (in Oregon.) Good Luck

You can teach at the local college or high school.

You didn't indicate what you taught and the grade level, but you should be able to parlay that into a sales job or perhaps a professional development/training job with an educational company. Most of the people selling to schools/colleges/districts are former educators. Almost all of the people acting as trainers for educational software, textbook implementations, technology products, science lab materials, etc. have been in the classroom. Start by contacting some of the companies that you did business with (for example, software or textbooks you liked) and see if they are hiring. Very often they will hire directly from teaching, without any sales/training experience, it just depends on the company. If you don't know the companies, find out some of the big educational conferences in your state and go to the conference website for the current year or a previous year. Look for the Vendor listing. It will give you a good starting point. I hope this info helps steer you in the right direction! Good luck!

Some masters programs will require you to have an undergraduate degree in art, but others will not. It varies by program, so you'll have to check. The one thing you will be required to have, though, is a strong portfolio. Your portfolio of work needs to show that you're ready for a masters-level program. It needs to be a professional-level design portfolio. Do you have that? If not, you can get it. Start taking some art classes, and work hard.

Arts is a form of recreation, not a career. Arts administrators are being laid off, not hired. Do a straight business degree and enjoy arts on the side. I withdrew from a graduate arts administration program on the last day on which I could obtain a full refund after I investigated the job market and found that the only available jobs were in fund raising.

The MBA does not have minors and majors. Universities don't grant MBA in information systems, or MBA in finance, or MBA in arts administration. The MBA is a general degree preparing students for management positions in any level of a business, up to CEO. MBA students study accounting, finance, marketing, management, statistics, economics, strategy, policy, and other courses. Many MBA programs offer concentrations in these and many other fields, but that amounts to only 2-3 courses in your chosen field in the second year of study. Many students avoid a concentration and take a variety of elective subjects to gain a broader background. By the time you finish the first year you'll be able to decide which concentration interests you. The MBA is not like an MS degree that concentrates study in a single field and prepares students for high level staff or research positions. The MS typically requires an undergraduate education in the field in which you want the MS, or a closely related field. A finance major does not get an MS in chemistry, and a chemistry major does not get an MS in accounting. MBA programs accept students in any undergraduate field. They prefer students who do not have a business background because they give you the business training but they cannot provide the broad background that managers should have. I have taught MBA students with degrees in Music, Medicine, Dentistry, Law. Psychology, Political Science, Chemistry, Biology, engineering, and many other fields. The arts require good management just as does any industry, but jobs may be harder to obtain. However, the MBA opens many doors. Most MBA programs prefer students with 2-3 years work experience after the first degree, but many accept students right out of college if they have good grades and a high GMAT score. Some MBA programs are designed specifically for new college graduates without work experience. MBAs with good grades are in high demand and they command good starting salaries. To find the MBA program that best fits your background, criteria and preferences, a good source of information is the Official MBA Guide, a free public service at http://officialmbaguide.org. You can use it to select programs in specific geographic regions, specific concentrations, or specific types of programs, such as full-time, part-time, executive, distance learning, and accelerated. You can specify criteria that are important to you and get a ranked list of programs that best fit those criteria. From the Guide you can go directly to a school's URL or contact schools by email.

It depends - looking at ROI - look not just at the cost but the time and if you really like working in communication and media - if so yes, it may give you more flexibility but not necessarily more money at the beginning - without any experience your degree is just a check mark - if you can work and go to grad school part-time you find that though it will take a bit longer it will be a greater experience as you will be able to both look at the applications from a practical view as well as having some much need work experience to add value to future earning and make your ROI faster - also some employers have money to support further education among their staff- you might want to look into these type of jobs

This isn't really an either-or choice. While there is an M.S. in Marketing which is primarily useful for jobs in Marketing Research, the primary master's degree in Marketing is the MBA with a concentration in Marketing.

Get the MBA with a specialization in Marketing. Unless you are all ready in the Marketing field, then the best bet would be to specialize directly to the field.

The result is I had a job offer to project manage with my company in Beijing. It's really a great opportunity as I started with the company two years ago at entry level. However my university won't defer my thesis any longer and wants it by the years end. Should I reject the job or the masters?

talk to the company if u would be able to have some time to finish up before u go. tell the company that u will also be bringing them a better work quality. but i think it's kind of a waste of your time and money to just throw the last step of your degree away, although jobs are really hard to find these days. good luck.

Since you've spent three years on your masters, I would definitely complete the degree. It shows employers that you follow projects through to completion as opposed to quitting before completing the task. Can you get a better job with this degree? That in itself is debatable in the economy, clearly. However, it CAN NOT hurt. It may be one item that differentiates you from other candidates. Moving to China to become a project manager may or may not be a step in the right direction for you but you have to be the one to decide that. Keep in mind that it is very expensive to live in Beijing, regardless. I have a friend who is in marketing who lives there now but he's further along in his career and makes six figures, as a result.

Talk to the job offering company and sort it out. Usually they can wait. I'd say the degree really matters. Even if they cannot save the job for you, I'm sure you can find another job with your fine degree, especially in Beijing.

I have a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration, contemplating to get my Masters in Marketing. I am currently in health care marketing right now. I work for a small company so pretty much I am the marketing department. In what areas should I work on? Appreciate your help.

I was a marketing consultant for 7 years. First, find a mentor in the field of marketing consulting and see if they will help you get starting...maybe working for them. Two try to establish yourself as an expert in an area - research, promotions, event planning, communications, advertising, internet, etc. by giving seminars for the local Chamber of Commerce or writing articles for the local papers. Three start a network of associates to get referrals. Good luck - it is great fun!

Your decision will depend on the specific sector and sub-sector in which you want to consult (stay in health care, move to other industry specialty - perhaps supplier to hc, etc). For this response, I'll use 'HC' to cover the assumed healthcare industry. Who influences the leadership of the HC area you're experienced in? Other consultants, consortiums (think tanks etc)? What about the smaller (boutique) types of consultants who have a very specific niche that they focus on and are well regarded in? Very importantly, get out to visit your company's customers, regardless of whether this is the specific sub-sector you want to go into. Find out and confirm what their challenges are, how your company helps them (quantify the impact as much as possible) AND find out about the other areas of their biz and who the work with as vendors/consultants in those areas. Connecting these dots is important. Then network with the right folks. You can even ask your customer for an introduction to the other vendors - not for a career discussion, but for a broader and better understanding of their biz so that your company can do a better job in serving them. Good luck!

What are the best colleges for a Masters in Marketing
What are the best colleges for a Masters in Marketing?
I have recently graduated from university and am looking to find a well reputed university to earn my Masters in Marketing from. I have about a years work experience on my side and am planning to gain another years of experience before going for my masters. Also, I am looking for a college that takes a strong interest in taking care of its students as well as being helpful when it comes to financial aid. I hear that most of the best colleges are either in the UK or US nowadays. Let me know what your take on this is :). Thanks in advance

I'm not quite sure of your aspirations or qualifications, but here are the top marketing programs in the United States: 1Northwestern University (Kellogg) Evanston, IL 2University of Pennsylvania (Wharton) Philadelphia, PA 3Duke University (Fuqua) Durham, NC 4Stanford University Stanford, CA 5Harvard University Boston, MA 6Columbia University New York, NY 6 University of Chicago (Booth) Chicago, IL 8University of Michigan--Ann Arbor (Ross) Ann Arbor, MI 9University of California--Berkeley (Haas) Berkeley, CA 10University of California--Los Angeles (Anderson) Los Angeles, CA The US is usually known to have the best business programs in the world, so you will certainly find the top ones here. Be aware, however, that it is extremely hard to get in to one of these schools. Thousands of well-qualified people try and fail every year. I'm not sure what country your from, but that in itself could be a disadvantage to you because these schools usually take from top universities (usually in US, sometimes Europe and rarely outside of the West). Still, there's no harm in trying because an education from these schools could shoot you to the top. As far as financial aid, these top schools will often be generous with it if you are able to get in. You will have to check with your own specifics to really see. On a side note: The US and UK have ALWAYS (for the past 300 years, since the existence of colleges basically) had the best universities in the world. In fact, if anything, it is finally changing now! With the rising repute of the IIT's in India and higher education growing in China, finally the monopoly on superb education in the West is being broken.

Yeah, an MBA in Marketing would definitely improve your job prospects. With the undergrad in Biology/MBA in Marketing you could find a job with a Science corporation, Government, or in the medicine industry.

Is it worth it to go to school to earn my Masters in Marketing
Is it worth it to go to school to earn my Masters in Marketing?
I recently graduated from FIT with my BA in Advertising and Marketing. There is absolutely no jobs on the market and most company's have a hiring freeze. I am debating going back to school and was wondering if it is worth the time money and energy to go to Baruch to get my Masters in Marketing. I was also thinking about possible going for my MBA in Business but I am not so sure if I have the drive to be in school for as long as it will take to complete the MBA. Does anyone here any knowledge of how the market is for those who graduated with a Masters in Marketing and the difference is for them when they hit the job market? If anyone here also has any info about their time at Baruch that would also be appreciated.

No, if you know the basics, build up your rep. Kind of like psychologists, even if your the smartest of your kind in psychology, you need reputation for people to come to you. In your case, corporations would respect you more with more experience and good recommendations. [also of seeing the things you've done and how good it is]. Just wait until you find a job, it'll take a while in todays economy but school will just get you farther down the road of debt.

The previous poster is correct in that it's better to get actual work experience going instead of just continuing to go to school. This is especially relevant for business graduates such as in Marketing or Finance or Accounting and so on. Companies want someone who has mixed in real business world experience rather than someone who is overqualified in schooling. Also most MBA programs look for real world business experience within their candidates too. Yes you can possibly get a better salary and recognition with an MBA or a Masters in Marketing, but in business nothing is as solid as actual experience. And I know it's a catch-22 situation here. You're trying to get your career started in order to build said experience, companies are only hiring someone with ready experience. The best thing is to just continue looking and eventually a company will hire you. Plus there are plenty of places like Bank of America, IBM, Dell, Citibank etc that hire students straight of college to put them into special "post-grad" positions, where they're specifically trained by the company to eventually get put into a mid-level type job role. This would be perfect for your situation.

First off, Bill Gates dropped out of college... The degree doesn't matter if you hate the work. Pursue which ever one gets you psyched up and, believe me, you will work hard because you like it, you will be good at it since you work hard and you will get paid. But remember, nothing is free...if you get paid well, you earn it...so be mentally and physically perpared to fly all over the country living out of hotels if you get a job in finance or going to 12 hour emergency meetings on Saturday if you work in marketing... Good luck
