BONUS: Do you need a degree to be a marketer?
Is it possible to get into marketing without a degree? It might not be impossible, but it is hard to get certain roles without a bachelor’s or even a master’s degree.
Looking at all marketing roles currently listed on LinkedIn, 40-some percent list a degree as a requirement. What the degree is in can vary. Some openings ask for a degree in marketing, business, journalism, or otherwise related. In other words: They want you to have a college degree of some kind. Which one exactly is open for debate.
