    I changed my degree to Marketing last year after watching your videos (and going down a marketing rabbit hole after lol). I'm now the marketing assistant for a local organization and loving it!! Thanks for the great content!!!

    I started my career in nonprofit marketing a couple years ago. Graduated with an Associate’s in Journalism and a Bachelor’s in Sociology two years ago. Now I am a Blogger doing my own marketing.
    Just got invited for a second interview for a marketing communications manager position at a nonprofit! I definitely didn’t take the traditional marketing route and created all of my own marketing positions in every job I had. I learned everything online and used skills I learned in my majors too.
    Start-ups always reject me when I apply, but my nonprofit interview rate is so high. I find that so interesting.

      Congratulations! I have a few friends who work in non-profit and they absolutely love it!

    Thank you for this video!! I just signed up and I can’t wait to start. Im in school right now studying something I have no interest in and I’m hoping to transition to marketing by 2023 but i obviously want to learn as much as I can now and maybe not even end up needing to get a degree. Thank you Angel, your channel has been so helpful in reassuring me that marketing is in fact the path I should take.

    I recently looked into Acadium and was skeptical so I'm soooo happy I saw this video. I'm still really busy and need to focus on school but I have my account set up and can't wait to try it out. It's EXACTLY what I was looking for because let's face it, some internships just want a free employee and drown you in work. This looks more my pace to get me familiar with marketing before I look for a more full-time and heavier internship. Thanks for this!

    • @angelzheng
      @angelzheng  3 роки тому +3

      Yeah totally! Honestly it's a totally free program which is insane! So definitely worth trying out! (plus their courses you can do on your own time which is awesome!)

    I feel so grateful I stumbled upon your channel because Acadium sounds exactly like what I need right now since I'm looking to do a career change into marketing and since I'm starting with a blank canvas, I feel very intimidated. I'm feeling super lost but your video gives me hope, so thank you Angel :)

    My jaw literally dropped 2 minutes in... I left after my first year at SFSU too!!! thinking how are these classes relevant/important?? I was not a fan at all- dropped out and starting working as a freelance makeup artist! However, I've been wanting to learn more about marketing in general so thank you so much for this video!!!

    • @angelzheng
      @angelzheng  3 роки тому +4

      I totally understand university courses help to make you a more well-rounded person but I just wanted to learn what I needed for my career! Dropping out was the best decision I ever made!

    I am currently studying Marketing at Fordham University, and I have been having a rough time with my classes. Such as Stats, Econ, Accounting. I have been worried that by me having a lower GPA. (In the 3.0) it will negatively affect the chances of me getting an internship. I am only a sophomore, so I still haven't taken my major courses. But thank you! Your videos always help a lot.

    • @angelzheng
      @angelzheng  3 роки тому +6

      So glad I could help! Don't be so worried about your GPA affecting your future job opportunities. Focus on actually learning the skills/content so that you can show that you know how to apply it in the future!

    Hii I’m a senior in high school and I don’t know what to major in yet but I know I want to take something in communications. Is marketing and advertising the same or is there some differences? What would be better if there is?

    • @saviourukpong
      @saviourukpong 2 роки тому +3

      Hi there, there is a difference between marketing and advertising.
      Marketing is the skill that identifies a problem and finds a way to solve it.
      While advertising is a marketing function that promotes a solution provided by marketers.
      Hope this helps. 🍜
