I went to school for computer programing and then design didn't like either lol Ended up paving my own way and learning marketing on my own and at first working with companies such as ClickFunnels from the ground up. It's been a heck of an adventure so far.
Design to Marketing? No shock there.
I actually self taught in design then took advertising and marketing communications- which included many design classes. I loved the design classes because by then I’d had 17 years experience. The classes were a breeze and I was happy to still learn a lot.
Media related careers are a black hole of learning and also exceptionally diverse.
I get bored of fast if I’m not challenged or there’s too much or too little repetition. Media is perfect for someone like me.
But, like you said, marketing is an adventure. Don’t expect to find the end of the road; it doesn’t exist. Lol
Yeah my "design" class was drawing nuts and bolts in autocad lol so I quickly stopped that after a semester. Seriously marketing I love it, it's constantly changes, always something new to near, crypto socials bring a whole new aspect to the market now. It just fascinates me and you really have to keep on top of it. A lot of odd school stuff is just trash anymore compared to the new.
Do you still do a lot of design work? If so do you have examples? As I'm always looking to build new stuff working on something for CubDeFi at the moment.
