Many positions in marketing are achieved through a sales path at first. You would need a college degree and an MBA would bump up the salary if you are looking at a large corporation. However, many marketing positions are now hiring fine arts majors becasue the organizaations are looking for less of a finacial perspective and more creativity! Hiring of grads with Masters of Fine Arts degrees is on the rise. Think in terms of more right brain than left brain for the marketing exec of the future!

Having a masters makes it a little easier to get a job. There are many facets to marketing but, You will become visible as a result of the visibility you achieve for the company. You need to have the brain to come up with creative slogans that set your company apart from others and identify your market..
