Expert opinions on the best states for associate brand managers

  • Are there any particularly good places in the United States for Associate Brand Managers to find work opportunities?

    Jesse Weiner Ph.D.Jesse Weiner Ph.D. LinkedIn Profile

    Assistant Professor of Classics, Hamilton College

    Assuming they do not pursue PhDs in the field, classics majors aren't trained for a particular industry or vocation. Instead, they use their critical thinking, reading, and writing skills to work as teachers, business leaders, museum curators, publishers, and bankers, and they succeed brilliantly in a wide array of other fields. Studies have shown that classics majors score higher on the LSAT than graduates in any other discipline. Recent students of mine have gone to become lawyers, business consultants, book editors, Latin teachers, managers of nonprofits, and entrepreneurs; others now work on Wall Street or have joined the Peace Corps. Some have gone on to pursue graduate degrees in fields ranging from creative writing to marine biology. The "hot spots" for any particular profession will, of course, vary, but, as we recover from the pandemic, I expect opportunities will abound around the country.
