Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Why Job Seekers Hate Marketing Jobs (A Must Read) by bluebay2(f): 2:27pm On Aug 07, 2015
Marketing is a very promising and lucrative job. It helps you interact with people from different works of life. Note that not all marketers walk the streets or are given very unrealistic targets.. I have had the opportunity to market different products from different companies to potential customers and I never found it stressful in anyway..i would not say that this job doesn't have downsides but the ups are way higher than the downs. And not all companies pay peanut, all you need to do is get in touch with the right agency
