It would depend upon their role within the university.\n\nSome would get a lot less than £40,000.\n\nSome would get a lot more.\n\nMaybe £40,000 is a good average. It depends why you ask the question, how you hope to use the information.

You just need to be super creative , think the way normal people dont ! :D (read wierdo lol)  Most ad ppl are wierdos in real life ! lol lol\n\nAdvertising is the fine line between sanity and insanity lol :) \n\nIts all about thinking out of the box :) \n\nAnd you need to absolutely passionate about what you are doing :) Passion is the watch word :) \n\nIf you have the passion to get there with the right amount of creativity , theres no stopping you :) You dont need degrees to be an ad professional... you just need to unleash and bask in the splendour :) \n\nA good way to start is to intern with an ad agency for a couple of months and see how it goes... it jus doesnt work out for some people... if you are good there is a good possibility that the agency will hire you... everyone in the media start their career without getting paid even a penny... thats the way it is... you might not see big money first... but...once you carve a space for yourself... there is no looking back.. \n\nGood luck:)

College professor - salary depends on how prestigious the university is and how much research and teaching you do, could be as high as $75k starting.\n\nFailure analysis and forensic engineering - many firms like to hire PhDs, because this credential is important for marketing expert testimony.  Starting salaries depend on your expertise, ballpark $60-$70k.\n\nHigh-end design firms will also hire PhDs, but you will probably get paid as if you have an MS.  Expect $50k or so to start.\n\nAlso, the government jobs listed above are an option.

The typical starting compensation for a new copier salesperson is usually $18,000 a year and 30-40% commission.  The 30-40% typically represents the amount you are able to include as profit in the deal.  An example would be that you sell a machine for $5000 and the cost of goods is $4000, leaving $1000 in profit which you may receive between $300 to $400 of.

Probably around 30K for entry level.

Communications is primarily used to enter into the the mass communications and marketing industries.  \n\nThe "generic" jobs using this are radio, television and public relations. \n\nHowever, this is not to say that this is your only avenue.  There are literally billions of jobs out there and somebody does each and every one of them.  It may surprise you, but not everyone "does" their major for a living - especially for liberal arts majors like communications.  But the key is to do what you enjoy, not be blindsided by ignorance and take pride in building your own life. \n\nA good way to know what is out there is to get informational interview. Ask people what they do, what their typical work day is like, what they like and dislike about their jobs and how they got the job.  I went through dozens of informational interviews before I got my first job so that I went in with my eyes wide open.  As opposed to job interviews, people are usually flattered and very open to talking to college students when asked for an informational interview.  Just ask for 30 minutes and it will return volumes in experience.

It really depends. Just starting out in your first year probably about 30-40 thousand. Many established reps make well over 100,000. It will be easier if you can sell other products as well. Disability, long term care etc...

$14-$16 is a good starting pay

45K is a good starting salary for many occupations.  The cost of living for your area is really a factor, as well as the skills that you have.\n\nA better question might be "What is the average starting salary in my geographic area, in my field of expertise".  Not knowing your geographic area, or expertise, all we can comment on is the number.\n\nThe number 45K is high for a lot of college graduates across the country.  I know of many who start in the 20's, who don't have good grades or applicable skills.  On the other hand, if you are graduating from Medical School, and setting up practice in California, then perhaps you should be looking for 100K+!\n\nCheck with your school, to see what the average starting salaries were last year.  Most colleges track this information.  It helps employers and employees!

According to a 2001 report, $28,804.10 to start in the first probationary year, with annual increases under a defined salary structure, along with a variety of benefits.\n\nIt's unclear if that's the most accurate information.  I've included a link to a news article that describes salaries for a few positions.

Well, you need to figure out what area of advertising you want to go into: Media Planner? Artist? Client Service Representative, etc.?\n\nOnce you've decided on what position you want to go into, there are a couple of ways you can go about getting the info you need. You can do a web search for different advice, or call smaller agencies in your area to try to talk to people in the positions you're interested in.\n\nAlso, you can go on monster or another job site and do a search for your future career, and see what the requirements are for that position.\n\nAdvertising falls under the Communication departments in colleges and Universities, and at larger campuses, you can get a degree in Advertising. It's been my experience that most of the professors have previous experience in the advertising field, so they know more about what it's like to actually do the job, not just read about it in a book. If the Uni. is in a major area, older professors may still have contacts at area ad agencies - this can be a springboard to getting an internship or even a PT job at an ad agency, giving you first-hand experience and an edge over other grads - ESPECIALLY if the hiring manager already know you and your work ethic!\n\nGood luck!
