Depending on the size of his organization, a marketing manager may also oversee a team of junior marketing professionals.

Reflection

Yes I would defiantly love to become a marketing manager not only because the paying is really high but also because I’m interested and willing to work at it. I think it would be really fun I would not only be working but learning in some way new techniques to how to get the business to earn a profit because that’s the goal of every organization. The fact that I’m taking a college class every Saturday and its really interesting I’m just learning the basics of business but if I were to go to college I would like to get a major in business. I don’t want to sound ambitious even though I am but with all that money I would be earning I want to make my own business and if not an organization to help the poor like with money what can’t you do right? I think that I would spend every dollar wisely donating; giving to the people in need, church I have many goals to achieve and marketing would be one of them.
