Photography Networking Sites
What Major degree should I get to go with my web design degree?
I have an AAS in computer technology. I am a web master/designer, with a A+ in hardware and I have a seriousness with webgraphics & photography.
In short, I can walk into a bare room, set up a network backbone, build all the computers, put them online, build a business plan, build the website that sells (ecommerce) whatever the company is selling, hook up the finances and then master the website and make updates to the site.
Yet all of this does not seem to be enough to get a job in the world.
My best friend and I will be going to another college to get a batchlores degree. He suggests a degree in advertising because he saw that all the people at a local web firm has majors in advertising and minors in web building.
So, is he right about getting the advertising degree or is there another degree that would be better to have with the web design degree???
I'm not a networking guy and I am not a programmer. I hope that helps you to help me. haha THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Advertising degree is something you should get. Nevertheless, people are more interested in seeing results and if you are able to produce results you will find work. When writing your resume and CV always include examples of your previous work and successes you achieved.
Internet marketing and advertising are very profitable and if you are able to design a website that sells and optimize it for the first pages of major search engines, people will pay you thousands just to do something like that to them.
Since you are good with web design, you can also find a lot of freelance web design jobs online. Take a look at this website:

There are many web design jobs posted constantly and they will always accept new web designer. Opening account is free. Write a good profile and include examples of your previous work. Also bid for as many jobs as you can at the same time (up to 10) to increase your chance for winning projects and be persistent.
When you complete job for someone, you will get positive feedback and it will help you get more jobs easier. You can find some great tips on how to win a bid here:
