*Sell or be sold*. Any degree is useless if you don't know how to use it! :)

[CaseyBurnsInvesting]

There’s no secret to making money, get out there and sell and adapt and brand. Get to it.

[nikolasb]

Nothing like manipulating people to buy shit they don’t even want

[melaniesky]

i love how all the majors i’m interested in (journalism, communications, marketing) are majors everyone says are useless 😭😡

[samnicoy]

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE ACADEMICALLY INCLINED TO BE SUCCESSFUL
Just a measure of knowledge is required to conquer trading market assets.

[theprimest]

If you're reading this you have the potential to create great things. Yes. You.

I’m a junior in high school and this was gonna be my major 😭

Marketing is a philosophy. I know that sounds abstract but the answer in whether or not a degree in marketing is useful or not lies in understanding that. If its a philosophy, that means the more it is studied, the more its students get to learn the techniques of gaining an understanding into customer motives for buying and consumer behavior. Which is the crux of marketing and branding. If you view marketing only from an execution point of view, you'll say people should take up 6months online digital marketing course instead of marketing degrees. Yes they'll be able to execute, but will they be able to position brands. YOU CANNOT CREATE HIGH BRAND RESONANCE BRANDS WITH A 6 MONTHS MARKETING CERTIFICATES. With that amount of training you simply do not have the understanding of the science behind creating such brands. I would have framed the title of this video differently and encouraged marketing graduates to consider taking digital marketing course instead of saying a marketing degree is useless. A marketing graduate with a digital marketing certificate is far better than a 6 months digital marketing certificate holder. Not only from a career advancement perspective but also from a perspective of possesing the know how of understanding consumer motives and behaviour. Think about it. Most of the greatest brands we see today were created in pre-digital era. And they were created through the very same marketing principles that are being criticized today. The only thing that changed in mordern times is the availabity of new channels, not the relavance marketing principles

Worthwhile video. An MBA degree is also a worthless joke.

[aarontoribio]

Well you need a Marketing degree to get a marketing position especially for fresh grads

[camillabrandao_ads]

Hahaha I have a Marketing degree... I believe it definitely helps to get a good job (even if CEOs say the opposite), but if you’re thinking about opening your own business you’ll be much better doing online learning

I don't know who needs to hear this but stop saving all your money. Venture into Investing some, if you really want financial freedom.

Besides Medicine and Engineering (Maybe Law and Accounting) This applies to most degrees.

As my dad always tells me:

Know how to sell and then try to buy efficiently. That's how successful marketing works.

[internetjunkie]

A degree is valid depending on your location in the world and the ratio of supply and demand of your qualifications.

[rahulr]

Alux, you are wrong. Most of the degrees are useless 😂. My field is Software Engineering, and many graduates don't even know basic programming. Luckily I had a passion, so I learned from internet resources and Internships.

[divinewindful]

Damnit, I'm half way through my degree

[LesDefined]

Marketing classes turned me off from watching commercials and trusting entrepreneurs. Awareness limits social media use.

As a successful professional marketer with a marketing degree, I can tell you "good luck" getting a marketing job with any worthwhile company without a BBA in Marketing. Some of the items in this list are true, but companies getting rid of the degree requirement is not one of them, especially in senior positions.
