First...I agree on the education (might be because we have the same school in common but whatever!) Right now, us X'rs are caught in between the old school traditional marketing, journalism, advertising, PR and the new media, social media, web 2.0. I have an intern that is going out into the "real world" and we just had this conversation today! Neil – your advice is right on!

I recently graduated from college with a degree in marketing. It's mainly focused on my job search, but also sharing some ideas on marketing. I agree with most of your points, though in my experience there are not a whole lot of agencies looking to hire people straight out of college. If you know of any I'd love to hear about them!

One other thing to keep in mind is that a lot of MBA's who go into marketing after getting a graduate degree studied something totally unrelated to marketing in undergrad.

How much importance do you place on degree? I mean, I see that having one is important, but does the particular degree make a big difference? Can an ecology major or a risk management major go into marketing from the ground floor (or the internship "basement" level)? Awesome advice, and very encouraging.
