I chose to go into advertising, without being fully committed, because of the creativity aspect and broad range of job options. In High School, I completed multiple graphic design classes, as well as marketing and business classes as well. I feel like advertising gives a good platform to work in the business world but allows much more creative freedom than other business jobs such as finance or accounting. With a lot of experience with photoshop and learning the ability to market and sell products through high school classes, advertising puts me in a good position to create my own products and market/sell them, or just help with someone else’s product. The advertising world goes across many different platforms. Restaurants need advertisers, influencers do, professional sports teams do, even colleges like the University of Oklahoma does. As just a freshman, I am not sure which of these aforementioned realms I belong in, while I do love sports and advertising for a professional team would be pretty cool, I have not been able to weigh all the options. However, I am well aware of the Gaylord College and its reputation amongst OU and other colleges in the nation so am hopeful and confident that the school will put me in a position to succeed.
