What Did I Just Listen To?
I came to this podcast hoping to learn more about transitioning to a career in social media management. Episode 24 sounded like the perfect starting point — An entire episode dedicated to whether a marketing degree was necessary for the field. Not only did Dakota fail to properly answer her listener’s question, but she went on to tell her fairytale story about accepting a lengthy unpaid internship at a fashion business in NYC, which eventually led to her working with various celebrities. Welcome to the real world, honey, where unpaid internships aren’t a viable option. She went on to mention that many social media management positions do require a degree but that she’d never been asked to provide proof of her degree so theoretically anyone could just lie and “say” they had a degree? GIRL WHAT. It was then that I stopped listening. At no point did she address the listener’s question regarding the pros & cons of a marketing degree, nor did she recommend any workarounds (courses or certifications) that might help the listener break into social media management. Dakota may be wonderful at what she does, but she fails to market HERSELF as a relatable career coach whose advice can be relied on.
