If you oversee a department at a mid-size agency. Yes you are way under paid.

What’s your situation? Are you managing an entire media department? How many people?

By started in college, you mean internships?

Media director. Oversee a smallish team of about 10 people. And no, not internship, full time paid while in my last 2 years of college
