I want to one day work writing funny commercials, one day even a movie, how do I get there? I'm still 20!?
I'm a funny guy, not to mention modest.My creative juices are always flowing and I'm always thinking up crazy stories/scenarios/sketches. My dream job would be just brainstorming funny commercial ideas, obviously one day being able to produce/write my own movie would be spectacular. I've thought of doing some stand up at the local improv's open mic nites, and many of my friends are encouarging me to. But what about from an educational stand point? Any majors that would help me? I'm still in school and I don't want to chase some pipe dream of living my life from freelancing, I'd like to go to school for something steady, so if that major can be transferrable to a lot of good jobs, I'm for it!
advice?
I have always felt the same way you do. I switched back in forth during college but finally landed in marketing. The reason i ended up chosing marketing was because in a few of my classes we were put in groups and challenged to compete against other groups to come up with the best ad campaigns. We were given a few months to work on ads and i had a great time doing it. Since then i started taking all marketing classes and they were all pretty much geared towared the same thing. You learn alot about how to target certain markets (age, location, race, gender etc…) different ways to go about appealing to them (funny, serious, testimonial etc…) I've loved learning about and found i was really good at it. However now im in my last semester and i've began to put out alot of resumes. My goal was to work for some advertising company working on different companies ads and market plans. The problem is i haven't been able to find any sort of job like that. I'm beginning to think it was a pipe dream… however i'm assured by teachers and others that those sort of jobs are out there. I'll warn you most of jobs available to marketers are in sales… however most of the schooling was geared towards what you were talking about (except for the movie part) Give it a shot… my best advice would be to look for that ideal job early on… get some internships and you'll probably find yourself in you dream job soon enough.
