As the only one of the three peer counselors that is graduating this semester, it is only fitting for me to do a blog post on after graduation plans.

As a Marketing Major with an emphasis in Advertising and Promotions, the whole world is at my fingertips. I could easily work for corporate Walmart, Disneyland/Disney World, WWE, the like. However, as of right now, I have no job lined up.

So what does that mean? Well, it means that I am open to anything and everything and I am not picky whatsoever. A job at this point is a job.

I imagine some of you are wondering what types of jobs a Marketing Ad and Promo major can get? Here is a list of some:

1. Social Media Manager
2. Marketing Director
3. Content writer
4. Project Manager
5. Public Relations Manager
6. Brand Marketing Manager
7. Communications Specialist
8. Brand Ambassador
9. Marketing Coordinator
10. Marketing Manager
