One should only get a MBA if the company they work for wants them to and will pay for it. Otherwise, it's a waste of money.

"Marketing MBA"? Sounds like horseshit. Either get a well-rounded MBA or a masters in marketing. Anything in between might be a bit mediocre.

>>994106
So if I want to specialize in Marketing should I study a Master in Marketing instead?

>>994144
I didn't know they existed either, but yesterday I stumbled upon this
http://www.gradschoolhub.com/faqs/what-is-the-difference-between-a-masters-in-marketing-degree-and-a-marketing-mba-degree/

and now I'm doubtful.

>>994157
The original purpose of an MBA is to make you a well-rounded manager. These "specialized" degrees dilute this intended purpose. "Oh, so you only do marketing. We need you to understand finance and HR too." Etc

Alright, so... >>994153

Do you have a marketing degree already?

I studied a degree on "International Business", which is more focused on sales (I had several marketing subjects tho). I've been working in an international department and saving up some money, and now I'd like to turn my career towards marketing (I'm still 24 so I don't think it's too late for this).

Sounds like you'd get more from a masters in marketing, since you already have a general business background.

But don't take it from me. Ask potential employers what they're looking for in a candidate (or just read the help wanted ads)

Thanks for the advice. My aim is to work in a decent Marketing/Advertising agency doing a more creative job, even if I earn less than staying in the international trade area.

I'm pretty sure and overwhelming majority of marketing companies offer on the job training. Marketing is extremely entry level, and requires no prior knowledge.

Source: high school educated, work in marketing with no prior knowledge other than retail.

I'm trying to get into marketing without a degree. Any specific places or types of places you would recommend? I'm 24 living in Tampa, good looking, no autism, no degree though.

As I said here >>994193 I'm aiming for a Marketing private agency, and I expect them to be a bit more demanding than that.

>>994533
I work for a private agency.
The woman who hired me had a degree in psychology.

Don't expect to jump in and start working for Deutch straight out of college. Marketing is merit and experience driven.

Use ZipRecruiter. Look for local firms and apply. I live in Columbus, OH which is a very competive market. You can open a hole in the wall firm and work with fortune 500 companies in an instant.

I can speak for Tampa.

>>994533
I should also mention that the only college in my area that offers a marketing degree is a meme college, and the local community college.

Are you talking about a marketing MBA as being entirely marketing, or just a normal MBA with a concentration in marketing? If it's a concentration, then that probably just means 3 extra marketing classes, so it would still be a good idea as a well rounded degree.

I never said so. I'm just asking for a good Marketing program in a good school that may help me in that task.

Could you recommend me anything?
