Going back to school
So I graduated a few years ago (2010) in Marketing/Advertising. I have been working for a few years now and finally decided it is not for me. I emailed the admin offices today, and am looking to go back to school. I am going to see if I can get into the Animation program at BYU here in Utah. UVU and BYU have a couple of the best Animation programs in the country, so I will have to work my butt off to get in. Kind of a strange feeling to be going back to school and not be looking at an MBA too, but I am all about working in what you love, not what makes you the most cash.
Off topic, and random, but I thought I would share. |

Anyway, @Tanuki just curious if you didn't like marketing and advertising? I ask this because this is one part of the field of business I'd like to add.

Job is pretty fun, but I think the earning potential really isn't there for how much you have to put into it. |

I'm back in school for engineering after graduating a few years ago with a BS degree in Communications. (See what i did there?)
Best decision I have ever made; it's giving me a chance to learn about things that fascinate me and I will make actual money when I'm done. Good to go back, just make sure it's a justifiable expense. |

Maybe a new company would make a difference, but I love art, and I would like to be a concept artist for Disney That would be worth my time in going back to school I think. |

I know someone who's looking for a job -on long island- in Marketing/Advertising but can not find one. Is it hard to get into? Or is she just being picky, Also they only interned for 4months too, not sure if this changes anything.
I ask out of curiosity and well, its been a year already and I don't want her at my job anymore -haha- |

Ps: I was also looking into doing animation myself...I'm a bit worried since I'm more of a hands on person....rather than technical..Not sure if that makes sense. My community college offers a course I am going to take once I figure out my job situation.
Have you done it before? I really hope I enjoy it once given the chance. |

Overtime some of my friends started to wise up about that. It also depends on the firm and product that's being pushed as well. I admire marketing and advertising because you get to work on something different most of the time. Instead right now I'm just doing the same ol' thing in my office. Then my friends, in their eyes, are the ones that are jealous of me. Good luck getting in BYU or UVA.

But if you find what you really love to do back in school go for it. You may even combine both of your degrees and present yourself in a creative way for the newer company. My uncle got a special degree.. Psychological business marketing. Lol Needless to say he's a CEO of a company and is now pursuing a political job in the county. From my point of view... you have three options. Go back to school, talk with your GM about your job or look elsewhere. Also depending on your age going back to school might be an expensive change.

Do what makes you happy sir. I just can't wrap my head around the idea of doing something that you don't love, so that someone else makes money on your hard work and ideas for 50 years just to one day stop....or do die(whichever comes first).
I graduated from a Federal Service Academy, I drive container ships for a living, make 6 figures and work 5 months a year BUT I hate it. So In July I'm going back to school for high performance and auto racing. I've never been more excited about my future....live the dream man. |

Same here. That's why I'm doing a class here or 2 classes there.
