In that case, I do marketing at a services firm. I'm more of a creative, so it suits me. The benefit is that unlike a lot of marketing positions, services has a lot more flexibility for advancement. I'm also fascinated by people, and that's a big part of what marketing is. I also think marketing is one of the more exciting, rapidly evolving industries out there. If you're really lucky, you get a lot of exciting perks, like becoming really involved in a lot of sponsorship events, some at pro stadiums.
The downside is that there's a pretty low ceiling for most people in this world and, in my experience, I could swear that 75% of my time is spent in meetings. It might also frustrate someone who is a rapid mover and shaker--most marketing jobs I've seen have pretty limited hours and are really laid back, which might frustrate someone who's willing to work 80 hours a week for more pay.
