"Technology Education Diploma In Marketing"?


Ok so im chosing courses for next year. (going into grade 10) Im thinking of trying to graduate with a "Tehchnology Education Diploma In Marketing". I don't really know what that is though, or what kind of jobs are in the marketing field.

Courses:
*Retailing
*Relations in Buisness
*Promotions
*Management
*Marketing Practicum
(Plus 3 Business Ed Courses)

What I'm Wondering:

*Jobs
*Wages
*Post Secondary Education (do I need more than this degree)
*Anything else that you want to let me know :)

You can't go wrong by studying marketing, and as more and more businesses come to rely upon the power of the Internet, there is clearly a great future in understanding the technology behind marketing.

Marketing is an umbrella term that covers several areas, including:
Advertising
Sales
Public Relations
Events
Promotion

There are obviously several career choices that fall within each of these categories. As far as technology goes, when I was at my last company IT (Information Technology) supported a great number of our marketing initiatives. IT was active in the development, design and launch of our website(s), IT also built and managed our customer database. We were constantly using our database to connect and re-connect with customers based on their previous buying decisions, and we always finding new ways to build and refine the information that went into the database. If that kind of thing interests you, you may find IT very fulfilling.

I can't speak to how much every position pays. I can only say that, for me, marketing has been a very rewarding career.

My primary degree was in Speech Communication. I came up through the ranks of advertising and now manage the marketing department of a publicly held company with 410 stores nationwide. If you are able to combine IT with Marketing (or Marketing with IT), you will be home free.

Good luck!
