Novice digital marketer

Hi, fairygodbosses! I am an accounting undergraduate. I failed again and again my remaining review accounting subjects, so I wasn't able to graduate. Let's say that I did give up because it was humiliating on my side to go back and enroll again and I didn't have the courage to tell my parents that I was such an outright expense and a long term liability on the family. I did try to study, forced myself to study but probably I lacked sufficient motivation and love for accounting. And so, after much moping, kicking myself (haha!) and self-reflection, I decided to try online courses and I discovered digital marketing. It piqued my interest because I feel like this will give me a chance to help people (I don't know, a gut feeling). Right now, I'm learning content marketing at Hubspot and Seo at Moz. After finishing these courses, do you think I have a chance at getting a job? Or do I need to find a mentor? Please help! I don't want to be a burden anymore.

A few years ago I found a problem in accounting that no one from my staff could solve and for this reason I decided to find a better solution with https://incorporatebusinessonline.net/company/sleek/ . This is a company that deals with accounting and consulting. It really helped me get better in the market.

I just wanted to let you know that the only time you fail is when you dont try! If its your passion to do accounting, dont give up! We all stumble along the way...

With job hopping every 2 years being the new normal and new industries, roles and companies popping up every day, we’re navigating an unprecedented amount of change in our careers. The ...Read more
