When you complete a degree in marketing you open yourself up to a variety of career choices. Every business and every individual ‘markets.’ Businesses market their products and services. Individuals market themselves as politicians, or as a job seeker when they interview for a job. A degree in marketing not only helps you learn the field of marketing, it helps you to better understand your role as a consumer.
“Our jobs as marketers are to understand how the customer wants to buyand help them to do so.”–Bryan Eisenberg, speaker and online marketing pioneer
