Should Copywriters Get A Masters Degree?
I am a Junior Copywriter at an Advertising Agency. I have been working in Advertising for less than a year. I currently live in Dhaka, Bangladesh. I'll be moving to the United States next year, since I've recently got my Green Card. I have an BA in Marketing from a Bangladeshi University. I've been advised by my family members in the States to apply for a Masters Degree since a Bangladeshi Degree won't be of much use in the States. But I'm not entirely sure what kind of qualifications are needed to work in Creative departments of corporations/agencies,in the United States. I'm not entirely sure about sticking to creative for the rest of my career. I might consider moving to a marketing position later in my career. From what I've read, Copywriters usually don't get Masters Degrees, an Undergrad Degree is enough. But since my foreign degree won't be of much value in the States, should I perhaps pursue an MS in Marketing or an MBA?
