MARKETING DEGREE - is it worth it? | best & worst jobs, salaries, what to expect, classes

[@mzmagdo3703]

I am crying watching this because it is so true. Most marketing jobs ask for adobe experience, google ads, SEO, and all these digital marketing features I was never thought of in college. And the income is low for entry-level jobs. I will advise anyone thinking about studying marketing to self-teach themselves and look for internships as early as possible and get as much experience as you can. Know what kind of marketing you want to do and get the experience for it.

[@AshleyRivera]

So what you’re saying is. Make sure to Major in Digital Marketing, so your skill is relevant. Work hard and expect to have to work your way up. I had 4 years working in Finance before I deciding to go back to school for Marketing. Forget about the money, I made great money in Finance, but I worked 50 hours a week, it was also the most boring, stressful, depressing, exhausting, awful 4 years of my life.

Marketing is not about "tricking people to why your product is superior" as you put it. It's about how and why your product or service solves the customers problem/pain point better than the alternative.

[@AshleyRivera]

That heavily depends on what the product or service is - when I say “tricking” I refer mostly to products or services that are not a necessity but more of a luxury. Think about designer goods or useless gadgets from Amazon or TikTok shop!

I agree with you that Marketing programs are outdated. A marketing degree has become something to help you get your foot in the door. Everything else you have to learn as you said will either have to be by internships/jobs.

I think you made some really good points. I wanted to chip in some of my experience. Marketing is indeed very competitive and the starting salary is very low. However, there is also a very high demand for jobs and many job openings all around the world. Finance is paid more, but also crazy competitive and it does generally score lower on job satisfaction. I like Finance a lot and think it is a good major, however for people who want to combine analytical and creative skills I would recommend them to go to Marketing. Degrees are very cheap in Europe and the top unis usually teach many analytical skills. However social media marketing and creation are not taught by any of the unis I know of and I would recommend taking online courses during the study instead.

[@AshleyRivera]

[@quentinm.williams9]

This is how I feel. I am on the fence between majoring in Marketing or Finance. Or double majoring in both. I have more of a passion for marketing because it allows me to learn about the creative sides of business but I also have such an interest in finance as well so I am on the fence.

[@astro.avesta]

@@quentinm.williams9 If your passion is in Marketing I say go for it. You will always perform better when you have passion for what you do. I studied marketing in my Master's and business in my Bachelor's. In my current job. I am doing both Finance and Marketing. It makes you very attractive at work if you are able to do many tasks. However, you will always have to find something you are good at/like and which you can specialize in. I am currently considering going to a marketing agency now to polish my marketing skills.

110% it really depends on the college. I've found 4 year colleges & Universities are extremely outdated in Media and Digital Degrees.

Art schools or more creative college courses seem to be the most up-to-date when it comes to programs, systems, or methodologies yet it's very true in this day and age of social media colleges aren't teaching us how to use these things because what professor knows the ins & outs of how to use them.

I do think that some job descriptions for certain marketing roles are unrealistic. Yes it might be good to have basic skills or knowledge in Adobe and design but they shouldn't expect to get one person to fill a role and do it all. On the flip side, neither should a graphic designer be hired and expect to come up with marketing campaigns and social media strategies on his/her own. Because that is certainly not his/her job either. So i do think that a lot of companies milk a person instead of hiring a fully equipped marketing team. (Speaking from personal experience.) - My major wasn't marketing but I work in marketing and television production now and you learn most of it by experience. I do think you have to have the passion to keep learning and staying up to date with the way marketing and advertising is now.

Indeed, there is intense competition in marketing, and the entry-level pay is really low. But there are also plenty of work opportunities and a significant demand for labour globally. Although finance pays more, it is also extremely competitive and has a usually lower work satisfaction rating. Though I think Finance is a great major and I really like it, I would advise someone who wants to combine analytical and creative talents to major in marketing. Nowadays, obtaining a marketing degree might help you open doors. As you mentioned, you will need to obtain internships or employment to learn anything else. Getting as much experience as you can from your initial entry-level work and marketing yourself to either seek a promotion or look for other employment is the greatest method to enhance your compensation.

08:45 this is very true. As someone who works in the corporate world in marketing, and mentors the grads on our intern programs, I've found what the universities are teaching students, the skills and concepts, is outdated This is why having a university degree does not chalk up to 'experience'. So here's what you need to know. Some companies really value marketing, while others don't - and salary is the primary indicator. Your goal should be to find a company that values its marketing people - money talks. Don't only apply for roles advertised, look for companies that you want to work for and apply to them directly. I know people who make more doing freelance work, from their parent's home, than if they worked in a global tech company. Experience is everything and that's mostly what employers care about. Having a degree is no longer enough of a differentiator, and experience gazumps a degree every single time. Also, understanding how to leverage the AI tools now available will give you an unfair advantage, as most people aren't using them nearly as effectively as they should.

Hi! What college in Canada did you go to?

[@heavenlygirl7408]

Hi Ashley! I am a junior college student who is still undecided to choose between business degrees. I also didn't like accounting at all. I am hesitant to choose between HR and Marketing. I am kinda creative, but don't like that on a daily basis. I am very scared of unemployment. I am something between an introvert and extrovert. I want a job that is gonna be stable even if artificial intelligence grows. Could you please give me your opinion based on my interests? I really need help since my general business courses are about to end soon. Thank you!

[@heavenlygirl7408]

By the way, I forgot to mention I can double major in HR and Management. Or double major in Marketing and Sales. They have common classes that make it easy to double major. Please let me know your opinion based on these two comments. Thanks!

[@Kayleecastillo100]

You are right. I have a degree in emarketing and certification in digital marketing. My university was not hands on and never taught me nothing either! Any tips On what to do?

[@AshleyRivera]

Just continue to learn online and stay up to date with the changes!

[@NoNo-ng9sl]

Marketing & Buisness management have to be two of the most worthless degress from B-Schools. Technical skills are a must and you cant teach people marketing for something that's common sense. Either you get marketing or you dont. Just because you majored in it, doesnt make it so. 80% Of the people in my marketing department (an organization of 30k employees) didnt major in marketing.

[@naomicollet]

same problem

[@marvingonzales9769]

hey there can i work in marketing without a marketing degree? or is it better to get other degree so that if the marketing career is not for me then i have a fallback or backup plan because i have a degree in other majors like Information Technology? please hoping you answer my question because i was hesitating to choose marketing degree if i can work in the marketing industry without a marketing degree required then i should get a different major because first off my choice is tourism and management but there are tourism jobs that really dont require a tourism degree and the salary pays less and if there's a pandemic tourism industry is the first job that will be affected so i think marketing for me because some people say its flexible but right now after i watched your video i feel like marketing is not for me :( hope you read my comment so that i can have my peace of mind regarding this major

Currently in community college I completed my first year majoring in digital marketing however was told that the school I’d like to transfer over has certain course requirements that the DMA major doesn’t line up with. I switch to their recommendation of majoring in business Administration and just began my classes and I already don’t like the classes nor feel happy with what my future may look like with this change. I have thoughts of going back to major in digital marketing or marketing. Any opinions???

[@AshleyRivera]

Finish your associates at your community college in whatever you like. The school you transfer to should accept an associates degree as is but talk to your counselor

[@its_frito]

@@AshleyRivera thanks so much, I have change my major back to digital marketing. I’m looking towards getting into internships this year and next year and complete my associates in Digital Marketing. I hope to get into an agency that pays well with my associates. If I see myself struggling sometime in the future I will continue my schooling to get my bachelors.

it all depends on what type of job you want to do. Finance is very different from Marketing - I would recommend doing some more research on what type of job you want!

in Canada, marketing jobs do not pay less than other business degrees. In fact it's one of the highest paid ones

[@AshleyRivera]

really? that's interesting! I think business and marketing are the lowest paid here in the us... finance, economics, sales all get paid more

[@elliesjoberg7172]

Can I ask what your insight would be for an M.S. in Marketing.. for a person with some sales and business background? (But a B.A. not in Marketing) Also you brought the realness with KZbin University 😅 .. no kidding. Like you said the competition is fierce. Like many fields I do think it boils down to exuting strong self confidence paired with some technical skill in digital marketing. Why can’t schools just line up those softwares you’re expected to know and boom boom boom

[@AshleyRivera]

I'm currently doing a masters in quality management bc I wanted something more technical. Honestly, I think that a master's in marketing will just teach you the old way of doing things. I would do a Master of Business administration over marketing tbh. But do some homework and lookup data to see what's best!

Lol it's funny when student discover that there is a huge différence between university where all is theoric and the true life job where when you are making a mistake, your firm may lose money.
