Are Marketing Degrees Worthless?

from The Rethink Marketing Podcast · host Colin Jeffries & Paul Frodge

On episode #91 of the Rethink Marketing Podcast, Eric and Colin dig into the often politicized topic of whether marketing degrees are invaluable or worthless. Is a marketing degree as fundamental to success as a medical degree or as useless as a degree in bovine tattoo art? Are employers putting too much stock in classroom performance? Have internships, case studies, simulations, business tours, job shadowing and other experiences replaced traditional lectures? Is four years of experience better than a degree alone? It all comes down to this: to be a great marketing leader, do you need a four year degree or don’t you? Class may not be in session, but we definitely hope you learn something!You can listen to take5: The Rethink Marketing Podcast on all major podcast platforms.Visit the Rethink Marketing Podcast website  to learn more about the show  or just peruse our guest list and all episodes.We would love to hear from you.  Your questions, comments and feedback is not only welcome but appreciated!  Let us know what you're rethinking by emailing us at: [email protected].  Send us your feedback  and we will send you a  highly sought after Rethink Marketing Podcast t-shirt!  Just include size and mailing address with your comments!Thank you to Arrasmith Promotions for sponsoring today’s episode!
