I have my BA but want to get into writing any advice?

We Answered:

Become a copywriter for an advertising agency! You can do it full time or part time as a freelance writer.

Check out this website: http://www.creativehotlist.com/...
You can search for jobs on this site in your area for copywriters. With the right agency you can have the creative freedom to write all kinds of stuff!

Also check out: http://www.adforum.com/ap/
On this site you can browse advertising agencies in your area. Check out their portfolio. If you think that the work they do is creative then you will probably like to work there.

A lot of advertising agencies, especially the good ones, do not need to advertise for positions because they have people constantly sending them stuff. I receive phone calls, emails and portfolios every day! If I see one that really catches my eye then I set it aside and sometimes we will hire them for a job or full time work. So put together a portfolio (or collection of your work) in a creative way and someone will hire you.

There are special schools that you can attend to develop your portfolio like:

www.adcenter.vcu.edu/

Jeffrey Said:

Does it make a difference what college I go to as an undergraduate?

We Answered:

You need to pay attention to the education that you get yes. The Univ of IA has plans for both undergraduate and masters. So something you may want to consider is choosing to go directly to the Univ of Iowa for everything rather than moving from college to college.

I suggest this is because when you change colleges from your undergraduate to your MBA, will need to transfer transcripts. An issue you could experience with that is there could be courses which might be needed. When I was ready to go back to college, I wanted one accredited university close to home with my chosen degree plans for an undergraduate then the MBA. I also asked a lot of questions and was upfront with my needs.

An employer wants to know what the person can provide for their company regarding skills NOT the college the person went to. Hope that makes sense.

Best of luck!
