re: ESPN Insider- Top 10 instant impact freshman 2013-14

Im in advertising/marketing. It's not that I'm confined to those places, but in my experience, it's a lot easier to go there, work for a global agency for 3-5 years (maybe go to a client for a few more) and come back to the south making 100-150K in a director or VP position than it is to start small here and work your way up. Something about those cities and the major agencies there that carry a lot of weight, all experience considered.

Plus the turnover and market up there is so fast, it's not uncommon to see people get promotions every year, as opposed to every 2-3 years down here.
