marketing careers help please?

Question

i want to become an electrician or marketing person but can't decide because electrician makes good money but i would want to do buisness also. so my question is what good jobs are there in marketing area and what would be the salary of marketing after 5 years or more and also is there more job demand for electricians or marketing buisness people and why thanks for those helping.

Answer 1

This is not an either/or. You can do both. If you are in interested in both, look at going into marketing for a manufacturer or selling of products and services that electrcians purchase. Marketing is a general discipline that applies to all industries and fields.

As for money, pay varies based on level (entry versus executive) and industry. The greater the profit margins in the industry the more you are likely to make. I would say that if money is your primary goal, know that that is longer shot in marketing in the short term but you will make up the difference in the long term if you manage your career well. Know also that electrician work, though it pays well in the short to mid term, is physical work that you cannot do for the balance of your life, maybe. You can always build a good electric services business and manage as you get older. In this case, you would be marketing your electric business. See my point?

I say go for both over the long term. Life and careers are long enough.
