is a marketing degree worth it? my irrational fears

[@chipotle_godd]

you were so honest and it’s refreshing !!! i also think you think very independently.

[@AshleyRivera]

aw thank you! I get that a lot… what makes you think that?

[@ivanjohnson2300]

I understand the degree is the key, you are a intelligent woman. The salary also is nice.

[@AshleyRivera]

It’s pretty decent! What are you studying?

[@Emerald449]

Marketing is a relatively broad major, and to most people that automatically sounds appealing, however the biggest money is only made in very few specific forms of marketing or managerial positions

[@AshleyRivera]

That's very true! There are a lot of positions, but a lot of candidates too. Every degree will have its pros and cons

[@user-fy3nf3lg2j]

I’m currently studying my masters in marketing and honestly worried as fuck if this course is even teaching me anything all I’ve done are reports

[@AshleyRivera]

@@user-fy3nf3lg2j me in my MBA right now lol

[@AshleyRivera]

@@user-fy3nf3lg2j I feel like I’m not learning anything new idk?!

[@user-fy3nf3lg2j]

How come your doing an mba arn’t you working in the marketing sector?

[@user-fy3nf3lg2j]

Hey I’m from australia I dnno thinking about going into primary school teaching. Is it normal to get a lot of rejections? I have a background in graphic design and honestly I feel like this is gonna be design all over again where I just get rejected

[@AshleyRivera]

@@user-fy3nf3lg2j clarify what you mean by that

[@reeseballard9180]

I’m about to get my degree in marketing and we’re being taught to use AI tools to help us with projects

[@AshleyRivera]

what do you think about that

[@xannajanex]

I'm thinking about doing marketing because its the major that looks the most appealing to me since i am creative but I'm scared i will have trouble finding a good job in the future since I'm very ambitious and want my work to have good results

[@AshleyRivera]

marketing will always be around so if you love marketing, go for it!

[@Dmsssssss]

So if I were your friend would advise me against a marketing degree? And would you suggest a digital marketing degree ?

[@AshleyRivera]

if you want to do marketing, do it! What do you like about digital marketing?

[@Dmsssssss]

@@AshleyRivera I just want to make sure I can actually find a job doing it and it’s not just some degree I’ll be carrying around. With digital marketing I like the idea of creating my own product something I’ve always wanted to do and/or be apart of a companies product or content creation. I like the aesthetics and influence marketing has .

[@Yoeuli]

what do you think about going down the self taught, online courses, etc route?

[@AshleyRivera]

Highly recommend! Build a portfolio and you'll be good

[@Brenary]

I hear many people in marketing getting laid off idk if its a good move

[@AshleyRivera]

I was one of those!
