Could I get a copy of this via email? I can’t quite read the small print!

In response to Courtney: Having taught at Miami Ad School and having received an MA from The University of Texas’ ad program, I have a couple of thoughts on why Asst. and Planner levels score more money. MAS exposes students to a lot of agencies. They have planners from many agencies coming in to guest teach. UT taught through book reading, discussion and projects and the professor of planning I had 8 years ago had been a head of planning in an agency, but there was little exposure to the wide world of agencies. So much of landing a job is visibility. I also think having a book that shows you can think through a problem, do a little research and come up with a strategy will set you apart in an interview. MAS makes students do this. I did this on my own because I wanted a job, but it wasn’t a requirement for any class.

1) i was surprised that planners who have gone to Bootcamp earn the most.

2) actually, i’m surprised that there was such a huge gap between Bootcamp/M.A. and B.A. holders

* Did you find any reasons why there is such a difference, or why the Bootcamp planners earn more than the M.A. group?

I went to Miami Ad School’s Bootcamp for Account Planners and am still looking for a place that will fully utilize and welcome my thinking and experience. Fortunately, my current employer allows me to use some ‘plannerly’ skills here and there, so that’s a positive to my still-looking status.

Let me know if you’ve got any other related info that you didn’t already include in the report. Thanks!

just got marked this survey by one of the planners in jap. Great stuff. Can i get a copy of the 2007 survey?

Just saw the Account Planing Survey Results for 2008. I have an ongoing discussion with colleagues about gender equality in the workplace and the finding you mentioned about income disparities caught my attention. I was wondering if/how much the results are affected by the inclusion of sample from other nations (42%). Certainly, some nations would have greater equity in this area than the US but I would imagine that there would also be a number with less gender equity. Thoughts on this?

Thanks.
