Your Questions About Internet Marketing Degree

Sharon asks…
What do you think of Internet Marketing college degrees?
Lots of colleges are starting to offer Internet Marketing degrees. Do you think those are worth anything in the real world? What do you think the employment opportunities are for people with those degrees? What do you think the future looks like for them?

Jere answers:
I am a firm believer that college is a very good thing, assuming you can pay for it out of pocket and not take out student loans and I honestly think an internet marketing degree is a good idea but it is not the only way to make six figures in internet marketing. In fact, many 6 figure internet marketers dropped out of school and made it work for them but it takes a very strong and focused person to make that happen. I personally have been an IMer for 3 years and only make 3000 a month in residual income and this is working part time and I have an advanced degree. I know I could do more but I personally choose not to put more time and energy in – cause I’m lazy. That said, I do believe a college degree can help you but only if you don’t have to go into debt to get it.

Jenny asks…
Would you hire a marketing specialist with a Masters degree in Internet Marketing?

Jere answers:
You wasted 2 yrs of grad school on an “internet Marketing” degree?
That degree will probably be obsolete in 4 yrs
I can’t imagine there are any full time jobs for that job title – you will have to do project work and constantly look for new business and it will never pay that much annually

Steven asks…
Do you need a degree in marketing to do internet marketing?

Jere answers:
Internet Marketing is a growing field. Whether or not you decide to get a degree before persuing it as a career really depends on your goals. If you want to work for a major company and make it your primary career, I believe an education in marketing and business would be very valuable. If, on the other hand, you are more interested in setting up a small website to sell your own products (such as homemade jewelery or soap) then by all means dive right in. On the smaller scale learning as you go is less risky because mistakes are less costly, and the adventure of it tends to make them worthwhile.

William asks…
Do you think its better to pursue a degree in Visual Communications or Internet Marketing Management?
I’m torn and would like to pursue the career with the most job growth and employment availability…what do you think?

Jere answers:
I don;t know of any “jobs” in Internet Mktg Mgmt – some of the stuff you learn there might help you with a website of your own, but I think it would be a big waste of money to get a degree in that – doubt you’d ever get a full time job doing it – AND – not even sure what visual communications is.
