<p>How would I go about going into this field and is it possible to go straight into advertising, like making commercials and such. What else does the job require? What is the highest position available in the field? Is it possible if I start as marketing for a sports team I could maybe become an owner one day?</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>You wanna become an owner of a sports franchise? You better have a lot of moolah saved up.</p>
<p>And marketing is not restricted to just business. Communications is a great major if you plan on going into advertising.</p>
<p>You don’t really get promoted to the owner of a sport’s franchise, you just buy the team. You could be sort of a “CEO” within the team and eventually make a lot of big decisions.</p>
<p>First off, I would do some research on what marketing is, because advertising is only a small piece of marketing. If you are interesting in creating advertisements, then I recommend considering a major in “advertising.”</p>
<p>The highest position one could achieve with a marketing degree is CEO, which is at the top. As for becoming an owner, that is not a position one can be promoted into. A person either purchases the business/team or they don’t. It requires no knowledge/skills to become an owner…just money.</p>
<p>You could be appointed CEO,President or Chairman. All have arguably more control then the “owner” A LA Steve Jobs(owner) getting fired by John Sculley(CEO)</p>
<p>Wait, how exactly does a CEO fire the owner of a company? Lol, the thought of it is simply funny.</p>
<p>The CEO and Board of Directors can remove the owner from 'control" of the company.
You still own the company, but you lose operational control. That is a risk in a corporation.</p>
