what’s out there?
to choose and build a career
Let’s take a close look at the wide-ranging categories of
work that are calling out for your talents, skills and finesse.
By highlighting key positions within these categories:
• Design & Product Development
• Technical Design & Production Management
• Merchandising & Planning
• Retail
• Sales & Marketing
• Publishing & Promotion
we’ve gone for the hottest, most talked about jobs,
as opposed to an exhaustive list.
Please read the activity profiles carefully; they could open up brand new horizons. Even if you think
you already know what’s up, don’t second guess.
In an effort to be helpful and touch on what everybody always wants to discuss—the money—we’ve
listed indicative ranges per activity profile: what your starting salary might be and what you might
aim for in the long run. Remember, these are in no way done deals, just the salary ranges we see
the market supporting. What you do get paid usually depends on a host of factors, including how
much in demand you are and who is lucky enough to hire you.
