COVID has disrupted everything, at least for the time being. And the salaries that I'm seeing from employers range widely -- anywhere from the low $40s to tropical $100s. Overall, estimates suggest that marketing jobs are expected to increase somewhere between 5-10% within the next ten years. Still, the next few years are likely to be unpredictable until the pandemic subsides. One of the best places to compare mid-level salaries -- which should be the medium to the long-term goal -- is O*Net, a website developed by the U.S. government. Each page provides the Department of Labor's analysis of a job category based on wages, skills, and other areas to help a graduate assess potential career paths.
