- Sooooo... is a marketing degree worth it? When I was choosing a major in college I wish I would have come across a video like this that really put things into perspective. Like I mentioned in the video, I don't want to influence anyone's opinion, I just simply want to put my experience out there for others to take what they want from it. This is my personal experience so obviously everyone's experience will be different, so take everything I say with a grain of salt. Hope you enjoyed the video. Let me know if you have any questions. :)

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.
she's very right!
do you have any tips on how to look for internships ?
Thanks for this information!
Do yall not understand what entry level is?
@@RealEstateBaby what is entry level?
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.
Would you mind sharing your job title in Finance? I'm trying to decide between degrees and considered starting in banking to get experience and predictable hours.
So what are you doing now ?
I do not have a marketing degree and I make 75k/year based on experience alone. For anyone interested in marketing, I suggest gaining freelance positions and creating a portfolio. I love marketing because there are so many challenges and opportunities.
@I_I I’m 29.
How can you do this? I genuinely don’t understand
but how do we learn the experience from photoshop/final cut pro/adobe etc?
@@lifeisshrt7929 I'd say look at tutorials online, everything can be learned online these days. Mess around with the softwares and understand it's functions. It's not difficult to learn but it is also not easy. Give yourself time to adjust.
Freelance positions in what exactly? Like Photoshop and editing?
You mentioned great points. Thank you for sharing your experience. I think for all the young adults that are watching or reading these comments. people cannot only depend on the school education. I had to thought myself how to use excel, maybe this can teach others to find out what will be needed in their careers and teach themselves using TH-cam.
Great insights! Please make more videos on digital marketing jobs, salaries, and different responsabilities of each role. I subscribed 🥰
As a person who lived most of their adult life without a degree, a degree is worth it. It may not be sufficient because of the work you put in, but you're in the door. Those with no degree aren't considered. I now have a degree and can breathe.
I really always thought this. I do recommend everyone study SOMETHING but I wanted to give my experience with marketing for anyone wondering. :)
Thank you so much for your honest review! It was insightful and very helpful.
Love the originality of the video! There is no pretense, or hidden motives, just pure experience sharing. Love your honesty!
Thanks so much. :)
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. The best way to increase your salary is to learn as much you can from your first entry level job and market yourself to either get a promotion or search for other jobs. Just some tips that have worked for me.
exactly!
Well i confused now if marketing it is the wrost salary in business type!! So which the best type in business?? I thought marketing its easier than others and earn enough money...
@6NNF I think what they're saying is that the salary depends on your skills. As long as you're willing to take the time to gain more experience in a certain marketing concentration, then your salary will increase. But going in with JUST no degree and no other skills will put you at a low salary
Just a degree*
@@bluvix_1158it's also depend on the market, the compétitivité... No ?😅
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.
^ she made some great points!
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.
@@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.
Degrees are NOT very cheap in Europe!! £60,000+ at least.
@@phughes4224Universities in Europe that are free or under 400$: Scuola Normale Superiore, Sant’Anna, Free University of Berlin, University of Göttingen, The University of Vienna, Nord University, Nantes University, University of Paris-Sud, University of Athens. My uni cost 2209EUR for EEA and 10kEUR for non EEA.
110% it really depends on the college. I've found 4 year colleges & Universities are extremely outdated in Media and Digital Degrees. (Marketing, Design, Graphics, or Film)
Unfortunately from a young age they're shoved down our throats.
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.

@@6NNF bro do u just keep spamming this Comment all arould lol
@@6NNF Marketing probably is the easiest degree however the pay and job experience is completely different.
Awesome video. I recently added video marketing to my services offered. I was wondering because I’ve been in the trenches learning marketing and branding through the school of hard knocks and dealing directly with business owners and it sounds like I made the right decision even though before I found your video I was second guessing myself. Thank you for being honest. Keep posting
I'm pretty bummed that Marketing majors don't teach much on SMMA, advertising, AI-usage, business models, Remote-Sales Representation, Copy-writing, nor ROI Agency work...-prior to this video I didn't know if a Marketing Degree would assist me in the Digital-Marketing arena. Now I know it will not assist me. The better direction would be to self-learn, especially online.
Thank you so much for this video Ms. Rivera
They don't teach this!? Oh my goodness I thought they did, how are we so post to learn this then? Through interning?
I study Marketing in the UK. I was aware that I could learn everything I learned in university in one year doing courses. And then probably still be better off than having done my degree. I generally think that my degree was a joke. BUT I went to uni because I wanted to experience uni life, I wanted that piece of paper as well, because right now it gives me a lot more confidence. Even though I know it wasn't necessary. If I didn't go it would leave me with impostor syndrome. (I think) I do I am grateful that I went. Made friends for life, Sport of societies and student unions, learnt a lot about life and people are in all this is the safety off university. Anyways go don't go who cares😂
Hello!, what university was it?
You are not talking about your Loans
This is exactly why at 31, I decided to get my marketing degree. I’m in sales but, it’s that imposter syndrome that really holds me back professionally and a bit of an insecurity.
I would say it does helps to have that piece of paper I am a marketing manager I did not study marketing but when I apply to bigger companies they do ask me to have a degree despite my experience
Thank you for the transparency!!!!
Great video! Educational and informational. Thanks for sharing your experience.
You are preaching to the choir. A lot of my skills came from my own research. My teachers did tell me that all graduates are able to get into manager positions that pay more right out of college, you just have to make them believe that you are worth the riask. Not to mention Marketing majors need to know some HTML and CSS and possibly some python and were still getting paid less than software engineers. The programs are out dated and a lot of students leave their universities feeling extreamly inexperienced because of their lack of skills .
Thank you for keeping it real🗣
4:11 It’s like that in almost ANY career. You have to pay your dues first and build the skills that will then allow you to to jump salaries and go into 6-figures within 5-10 years. Especially for lower barrier of entry careers like entry level marketing. Re: the real marketing world, again it’s like that in any degree. You have to do internships.
It’s not like that in any degree, if you do finance or analytics or a stem degree you will start at a very respectable salary (between 65k-80k) and move up quickly from there
yupp
Thank you for your honesty. I graduated in 2020 with a marketing degree and can confirm pretty much everything you said.
did you get a job
Currently im in my final semester in marketing, truth be told u are right. All those theories and case studies yet i look at job offers i don't feel like im the right person for it, many demand Adobe skills, SEO, social media, analytics etc. I'm passionate about it but i still can't see myself as a marketer... I hope to see the light of day in the near future. Thank u for the video.

@@6NNF managers but experience is usually req
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.
What college did you go to? I am in my final year at a college in Hamilton, and they taught us everything you mentioned in first year of a 3 year course. These are the basics that colleges *should be* offering their students. If they are NOT at LEAST doing that, time to find *ANOTHER* college who will.
I honestly really appreciate you making this video. I actually am about to have my AA degree and STILL have no idea what to major it and $40,000 is nothing for real. I bartend and am questioning what is really worth it ya know. Thank you tho ❤️
When considering a business marketing degree, i would assume people in this degree would be interested in marketing their own business instead of being a business major to help another business thats already established. At the end of the day, you have to know why you chose the degree
That’s exactly why I was considering majoring in marketing

@@MISS.SWANKY Yes. Me too, that's why I'm interested to learn how to market my own projects.

You didn't get the education you expected but you were able to "check the box" and become eligible to apply to the marketing jobs that they are gatekeeping with a degree.
I really appreciate this video. Thank you
Thank you for making this video! I will be going into college soon and I'm deciding whether or not to major in marketing. Your opinion and experience really opened my mind to other potential degrees that have a more advantage in switching careers rather than sticking to one field.
Like what others degrees ?
@@vickysolis9429 Degrees like accounting, animation and finance, you can get jobs outside these fields. It all depends on the skill and how transferable it is.
Girl thank you thank you thank you
SOOO IRONIC : I studied marketing the UK, my friend studied marketing in India, and Ashley in the US and all of us can agree that we didn't get a good education. I am happy that I studied marketing for personal reasons. But I can confidently say that Marketing should not be a subject to in universities. Marketing is ever-changing and most universities cannot afford to change their curriculum yearly so love the things that we learn are dated or not practical on the work floor.
Thank you for this video ! I’m currently interested in pursuing my marketing degree . I hear you mentioned your school was in Texas . Was it Austin Community College? I want to go to a school with updated knowledge on the marketing strategies used now days
Thanks for sharing your experience girl
You're so welcome!
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.
Thank you so much for sharing!!
Thanks for making this video, it's super helpful! What materials/software would you recommend to someone in accounting to learn who's thinking of switching over to marketing? I'm not going back to school but I'm trying to teach myself on the side to hopefully exit accounting one day lol.
you can do a lot of certifications in digital marketing and also now major in digital marketing from universities
Thank you for this video. I am about to graduate with my bachelors in marketing and didn't know this. What is your perspective on an MBA?
An advertising degree covers Adobe, ad design and media etc. I think that is the difference between advertising and graphic design vs marketing.
It's a different specialization.
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
Schools want to hold you as much as they can because they're a business. I Don't expect to make too much more money than what I do in the warehouse but I know I will make a lot more and it'll be a better quality of living, there's a dark side to every industry and I want to get away from that stress from work it will kill you faster than anything. After 10 years in the workforce, I want to go to school for personal growth and social status and to work around more professional people and obtain credentials to add to my resume. Thank you for the video very informative.
Office jobs will always be less stressful on the body. Good for you! Goodluck. :)
Great video! I study Marketing as a hobby, but was never interested in pursiuing a degree for it. Thanks for the insight.
what are some sources you use? Im thinking of this also
yeah i am curious also. how do you practice marketing?
Hmmm now u got me thinking!! Would love to connect with you I just graduated last year with an associates in digital media design and got to learn the basics of Adobe with that and well I was going to start marketing but now u got me second guessing myself lol
College hasn’t caught up to modern marketing. Modern marketing is constantly evolving. At one point facebook ads we’re booming now its falling back it will always be hard for colleges to teach marketing
May God bless you for sharing the truth about marketing degree. this was very helpful to me.
So happy I was able to help. :)
i'm thinking about do a bootcamp, because of the short training time and they have a more up-to-date content, what do you think?
I have been striving to get a branding / marketing degree, wrecking my brain and body to get brilliant marks and your video i must say has helped me make the most difficult decision to once again restructure
Glad it helped 🫶

My cousin Libby is a Marketing major this year at University Of Tampa she loves it
Hi hun I was wondering if you are have a bachelors or masters of marketing degree and what college did you attend ? I’m looking into schools?
Im studying marketing right now but I’m thinking about doing a double major of marketing and graphic design to differentiate myself from others and have more skills in design. Does anybody have any advise or input on that because I’m still a little unsure about that part but also really want to do it.
it really depends on what you want to do! Marketing is very broad. If you like graphic design then I would say yes, do that (but do your own research)
That is a good background to have and is highly desirable
I am also interested on these 2 fields, but I am afraid to choose Graphic design because it may pay less and also the pressure. What did you do ?
Currently in my second year of undergrad for a marketing degree and computer science minor. Thanks for the tips
Good luck!!
Thank you very interested/ informative
Some schools have websites that teaches you on photoshop for free the college provides some sources that can help on the career you are in.

Soo true!
Thank you for the honest insight. I am halfway through my marketing degree with practically 0% technical skills using actual platforms used by companies today. I am terrified T_T but know I need to expand my horizons and try and level up myself outside of school.
Same. I am 7 classes away from finishing…and I noticed I have no “real world” experience.
Internships don’t pay much and I don’t like doing work for free, on top of my studies.
I’m going tech.
So it means that we will not go to school?? Correct me please
It depends on job title, industry and also university to university. I am doing BBA and we learn social media marketing, digital marketing, IMC (which includes graphic design). Btwn I will specialize in 3 things banking, finance and marketing. Marketing jobs are high paying in fmcg companies main industry of marketing is FMCG like Unilever, P&G, Coca Cola, PepsiCo etc.
Well i confused now if marketing it is the wrost salary in business type!! So which the best type in business?? I thought marketing its easier than others and earn enough money...
What is BBA?
@@6NNF They earn enough money, marketing is actually high paying. If you want extreme high paying career then Finance is something which can even make 7 figures and finance is considered the most highest paying field in the world. But obviously finance is hard.
@@DomingaShataun Bachelors of Business Administration. Its an official business degree in which you study every field of management during 3 years including social sciences, liberal arts and natural/technical sciences. In last (4th) year you have to specialize in one (or two) field(s) of management like marketing or finance or hrm or mis etc.
Hii may I know the name of your university?
We all have the same problem all around the world about academic marketing. the thing is marketing is a fast-changing field and in colleges or universities they tried to teach you basic things 50 years ago. it is not working at all in the modern market
I went to grad school for occupational therapy (almost finished, but didn’t) and all I remember learning for the first year was OT principles and theories, stuff that you never actually use. It was a waste of a year that I could have been learning something I needed to learn to help me succeed in that occupation. College is BS and a big waste of time and money. I’m so mad I was pushed to go that route.
Just curious, what are you doing now?
I’m a Management major but i’m not sure if i should add a double major or just do a minor in Marketing instead 🤔
Marketing is Just About Studying PPL & Connecting With Them based on criteria of stragetic objective
Finance is Just About Math of Ownership
omg same here people expecting me as marketing major doing digital marketing, photoshop, editing videos and sometimes even doing something with website IT thing and ads. I never learn actual useful thing from university for work
Exactly! I do everything at my job related to marketing/design/website.

Hey girl! I’m going to college in September 2023 and was thinking of enrolling as a Digital Marketing student in Europe. Do you recommend it knowing the future is leaning towards technology? Or is it a degree where you work alot and get less than others?
I would say digital marketing is better, since jobs are looking for more "digital requirements". I'm taking marketing rn but I we don't have digital marketing so it makes me feel that I'm not sure with my program
What about a bachelor in science of marketing management?
The thing is alot of jobs just want to see a degree they don't give a damn what its in
Guuuuuuuurl .. you went to the *WRONG* COLLEGE!
*THIS VIDEO* is *ONLY* TWO YEARS OLD.
In the meantime, in MY *FIRST* YEAR in Advertising and Marketing Communications Management program in Canada, we were *taught* how to do ads. In *FIRST* YEAR we learned and did Adobe Photoshop AND Adobe Illustrator and in *second* year, Adobe inDesign AND Adobe Premier.
If your college is teaching you *ANCIENT* History IN Advertising *INSTEAD* OF these *CURRENT* skills mentioned. I would get the hell out of there and *DEMAND* a *FULL REFUND* ASAP.
Hi! What college in Canada did you go to?
I’m about to change to Global Marketing Management. Finance is so hard. I want out of it. It seems similar to regular finance but on a bigger scale. I hope it’s a good choice!
Good luck!! How's it going?
Yes babe 😍😂
If you had to start your marketing career all over again what route you would’ve take instead of traditional college?
What you think of economics??
Is marketing good for e-commerce
I also was 4 classes away from getting my accounting degree.when I took an internship at Arther Andersen . I hated it and changed my degree to marketing and finished with a degree I had never wanted. I went back to waiting tables for the rest of my adult life and now I'm 54 and totally lost lol....i wish I had just never gone to college and had jist gotten a trade school skill.

@@AshleyRivera What sounds harder to your "ears"? 1. Masters Degree in Economics or 2. Masters Degree in Statistics?
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.
yes
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.
this is GREAT advice!! Thank you.
Sounds better then getting a no guarantees 8k-15k a year job
It depends what field you go into marketing. Here in Michigan I’m in Detroit and my career success teacher said that the students that work in marketing in Detroit make about 65k a year so it depends where you live.

I have a Degree on MBA marketing and to be honest i feel like i didn't learn anything from it. All we did was learn things to get good grades. I feel scared to apply for any jobs at this point.
I'm doing an MBA right now and I agree. It kind of just feels repetitive. But I'm halfway through so.
hii! I'm going into my junior year of high school I was wondering is the salary you mentioned $45k per year or per month?
Definitely per year, I wish per month this world would be different
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 TH-cam 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
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!
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.
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!
@@AshleyRivera Ashley, even luxury goods solve a problem, namely, people want to express themselves wearing luxury items that give them a sense of their "ideal self"...which is what you would know from your marketing courses.
I am a business owner. I will tell you that most degrees require experience to get a job. I have people who apply with marketing degrees but absolutely no experience. I wouldn't even contact them for an interview.
But they come to you for having an experience. How could they have experience if everyone refuse them , because they don't have it.
Well i confused now if marketing it is the wrost salary in business type!! So which the best type in business?? I thought marketing its easier than others and earn enough money...
It really all depends on what industry you go into!
Hey how are you, did you change your mind after 2 years of experience? did the marketing realy changed after 2 year?
I've been at the same company for almost 3 years now. I like my job and my company, but I do see other degrees making much more money. BUT my work flexibility is amazing.
i am about to graduate high school and want to apply for university i know my interest is business but i have no idea what to major in either human recourses, entrepreneurship or marketing can anyone help me please ?
I would highly recommend talking to people who actually work in those fields. Also watch Day in the life videos here on TH-cam. You'll get a better idea of what the day-to-day stuff is like!
