    If you have the passion, and the staying power, you can do it. Some simple steps that one can follow to make a career in the advertising sector. But before the steps, I would advise you to pursue a degree related to advertising and if not advertising, I would ask you to pursue a degree in mass communication as advertising is an extended sector related to mass communication.
    Here are the steps:
    Intern at an agency.
    For an ad agency, an intern is a win-win situation.
    Intake an entry level position.
    Do freelance work.
    Create spec ads.
    Contact radio and television stations.
    Get an advertising education.
    Introduce yourself to key people.
    Network.
