No Comment
As we have seen in the previous article, media is going up day by day and there are many streams in which we can work or can think about a career. Like wise there are certain fields which are from finance to animation. While it is tough to break into a creative career, the benefits can be extremely rewarding. Given that you have chosen carefully, your job can provide plenty of satisfaction and fulfilment. The offset to this are the potentially long hours and low pay, at least in the beginning for the latter. You can choose your carrier in media with some of the key fields as follows.
1. Marketing
2. Advertising Marketing Communication
3. Communication
4. Production (Creative Aspect)
5. Journalism
6. Advertising
7. Public Relation
Admission:
You can choose your career from above; there are certain aspects we need to look for. Every collage has the different courses with different contents in their courses. As far as media courses are concern you will see lot of variation in contents of the course. Don’t just follow with the Good Advertising or I would rather say marketing of the collage. Do people before joining any collage just see what package they could get at the respective collage? This is certainly the most demanding questions everywhere and that’s why you will see the advertisements of many collages that state about the Salary either the ads or the graphs of salary increment year by year, And this is where a naïve student falls prey at.
The best thing you can see while taking the admission in the collage is to talk with the people who are about to pass out from that collage and that’s also personally, Ask around 6 to 7 people and this will give you some idea. I know some time it feels very hectic but it is the matter of your carrier and money.
Course:
Choose a course which is relevant to your background, interest, passion, and knowledge. It’s not just about the glamour part but the real insider of any branch of media you need to look for. Before selecting any course of the media which is not related to creative field like animation and graphics, you should see that it must have some Marketing contain in the course, as it’s very essential to learn marketing before getting in to the media. As far as the faculty is concern, in any MBA collages, we find lot of visiting faculty to teach the subjects. So you will find most of the faculty common in some of the good colleges from same city.
So you see there are some important factors we need to understand before approaching the MBA. Also may people these days want MBA, instead of PGD (post graduate diploma). Well, IIMS also provide PGD, so don’t fall prey to these kinds of myths.
In the upcoming article i will brief you about each and every segment of the media mentioned here in this article.
