When I went off to pursue my college degree, I was sure I wanted to go into advertising. I chose a school in New York City, the hub of all things marketing, and started right in with Advertising 101. It wasn't a history of advertising class or even the art of advertising, which would've certainly appealed to me, it was the economics and the business. I switched majors pretty soon thereafter, not thinking I had the temperament for advertising - art history seemed a better fit.
