Seems like this is not really a school survey. Seems like your just not sure, whether you’re in marketing or thinking about it I am not sure. I have done many things in my life and it now seems I am in marketing. I live by the wise words that Mark Twain once said. “I will never let school get it in the way of my education.”

But to answer what I can:
Male
1.High school
2.N/A
3.N/A
4.Self employed President
5.My opinion 50/50
6.Currently the internet is under utilized a 2007 study said only 3% of thenations marketing is online. What you talk about in Q:8 is almost what internet marketing 2.0 is
7.(just another branch ) The internet is the best thing that has happened to advertising.

(The recession will not effect the internet as much ) Products will still do best in traditional media outlets.

(news papers are actually profitable they just have to much debt from trying to buy up small papers in the early 00’s during the boom) Traditional media outlets are a thing of the past.

(not when there is bailout money lol ) Newspapers are dying and soon will be obsolete.

(and always will ) Advertising and marketing still require talent and creativity.
