Just read an article on the 5 most marketable and the 5 least marketable degrees of 2009. What was among the least marketable?

Advertising
"As media outlets sink and retail markets contract, they're taking advertisers with them. The global communications strategy firm ZenithOptimedia estimates that ad spending in North America will fall 5.7 percent in 2009, meaning more unpaid internships and fewer entry-level positions.
"With layoffs expected in three of the largest ad holding companies -- Interpublic, Omnicom and WPP -- 2009 grads will have to fight for their first jobs."

Thank goodness I entered the industry two and a half years ago!
