Advertising and Commercial Design

Over the course of the past forty years, advertising and commercial design has been a hot profession.  Right when people started to believe that the heyday of advertising and commercial design had come and gone, e-commerce exploded onto the scene. 

If you are interested in a career in advertising and commercial design, in the vast majority of instances an employer is going to want to hire someone with at least a bachelors degree.  (Some people do obtain advanced degrees in the profession, but that is not common.)  There is still room in the profession for people with certificates as opposed to degrees.  However, with the competitive nature of the market, a better foot in the door today is a bachelors degree.

Job opportunities continue to abound today with most people landing in firms and working directly in the marketing departments of businesses of all types.  The Internet is a key focus in advertising and commercial design today.
