How do I go about getting a job in advertising?

I've been thinking of what kind of career I want after school, and I feel like advertising would be a good choice for me.

So my questions are..

1) What kind of jobs are there in "advertising"?
2) What degrees would be helpful in getting jobs like these?
3) Are advertising jobs hard to get in this economy?

Any and all help is appreciated.

Maketing Degree, or Advertising. Go to college, work a job for experience, then narrow down through that experience, to what you are good at. There are lots of jobs in advertising, if you set yourself up with experience and an education you will find work.
