Publisher or editor, which is better?

I’m in high school right now, and I’ve been wondering which career is better. Publishing along with being an editor seems like the two jobs I really have an eye on. So I was just contemplating on what profession would suit someone well, who really...

enjoys literature.

(P.S Thank you for commenting, your thoughts really help =D)

Hi,

I think it would depend greatly on how much management you want to undertake. Publishers have a lot more final decision on the operations of a publication. They are more hands - off on the actual content, but are huge decision makers.

Editors are more hands-on, actually working with the content. They do get to give input, but final decisions are mostly left to the publisher.
