While there is no published set of rules about getting started in the field, people who enter the digital marketing space often have a degree. However, this degree does not need to be in marketing (in fact, most schools don't have digital marketing majors in the first place). Degrees that build skills related to digital marketing are attractive to employers, such as journalism or even computer science, as the skills required to be a digital marketer can range from writing to dealing with data and analytics. There are also many digital marketing bootcamps that can give job candidates a leg up and position people for success in the field. These are great options for those looking to learn practical skills they can put to use in a new position or apply in their current role. Bootcamps are often more affordable and take less time than pursuing a new degree, and open up new opportunities for a career in a dynamic field. This makes digital marketing a wonderful opportunity for those looking to change industries, bolster their credentials, or build on their current skill set.
