I know I asked this before but no one replied. I am getting ready to go to college but, I don't know what classes to take for what I want to get into. Eventually, I would like to start my own Ad Agency or Marketing Firm. But, before that I want to work in one and do either advertising/promotions/or something like that. Maybe even graphic design. Thus, I don't what I should major in or what classes to take. Can ANYONE help me out? that would be great if you could!

Sure, I've got heaps of friends from the uni marketing club who're now working for ad agencies.

Just do a Business degree with a marketing major, plus some graphic design subjects, plus some sales experience

Find a job during college that will get you some experience in these areas. If you can't find a good job in these areas, make your own (hey, this is an entrepreneur website)! Start a company while in college related to advertising and marketing. At any decent sized college or university, there will be tons of opportunities to advertise products, services, and local businesses.

I started a business in college that grew wildly successful and grew into the advertising/marketing/promotions arena. Turned out to not only be profitable, but incredibly fun and the experience of a lifetime. When interviewing at top tier MBA programs this past year, they loved hearing about my experiences as an entrepreneur running this business in college.
