Is a masters in advertising worth it?
Hi, I am currently and undergraduate student studying Marketing and hope to work in advertising in the future. I have enough credits to graduate early but I decided to add a double major in finance to extend my stay in undergrad the full four years. However, I'm now considering graduating early and attending a different school to get a masters in advertising and enroll in a portfolio program as I currently have a very very limited portfolio. Is this even worth it or should I just work to build a portfolio independently? If so, does anyone have advice for how to go about building a portfolio without any assignments or structure.
My long term goal in advertising would be to work in account management or strategy but am also really interested in a creative direction role. I do however also want to set myself up for success and dont want to be banking on a job that is incredibly difficult to get.
