A marketer argues college degrees don't teach you to actually do marketing. Real skill comes from running your own campaigns, landing paying clients, and risking your own money, not from sitting in classrooms or working a 9-to-5.
Honestly, man, I'd say drop out of school right now. That's scary. How do I know that if I drop out of school that's gonna work out? I think now is as good of time as ever to get into the game, but you're not gonna do that sitting in school. Digital marketing jobs, it's not about getting a job. You don't want a job. What you need is you need the skill set. Are you looking to just go and punch the time clock, go somewhere 9 to 5 and get a job, or do you actually want to learn how to become a baller marketer? I definitely want to become a baller marketer for sure. Until you have a product or a client, a person that is paying you, or you're investing your own dollars into a campaign, there's zero chance you're going to learn how to actually pull a campaign off. You're not going to really get involved and understand the customers, the pains, the problems, unless your reputation or your own dollars are on the line.
