Thank you for leaving your insight here, it is greatly appreciated. College can be great, and the experiences and friendships you gain cannot be replaced. Still I think one must consider the cost of an education with their needs and what they can afford. It is definitely possible to learn and achieve success without a degree in this field, so if you don’t want to spend the money on a degree there really isn’t any reason to.

It’s really awesome that Full Sail keeps up to date and allows you to go back and take class for free! Considering the way the internet marketing field changes all schools that offer degrees in IM should allow students to do that (if they don’t already).

I know some people learn better in different types of environments with more structured learning (like college), and the may benefit a lot from a degree. But for me, personally I learned everything I know about IM from much cheaper alternatives and first hand experience.
:)

Coming from a Full Sail University Internet Marketing Graduate I have to say you have definitely made some good points.

Although I did learn so much at Full Sail, gained wonderful friends and had the Instructors there every step of the way I don’t like the loans that I had to take on. Of course no one does but for the cost of the tuition I really wish I would have done more hands on training than anything.

I definitely don’t regret going to college because like I said I learned things I probably never would have such as what is a SWAT analysis and what are Buyer Persona Types. I have a whole sphere of friends that I never would have had if I had not attended Full Sail but you’re right, you don’t need a degree in IM to succeed.

Concerning your 1st reason about IM changing, I will say this about Full Sail and the instructors, they are constantly changing their curriculum to stay current with what’s going on. Also, at any time, I can go back and take a class for free so that I can stay up to date as well.

Great post and some really great advice for those on the fence of whether or not to get that degree or go for experience.

~ Audrey

Those make all the difference and are things that will never change.

A degree in Internet Marketing is a new thing and I am in agreement with you that you don’t need degree in this industry but i think what people can do is they can design some sort of crash course on Mindset and approach towards Internet marketing, although this market is very dynamic but still Mindset and approach will remain the same!!!

We are fortunate to have people like you who give us insight to the real workings of building a business. As far as having a degree, I feel joining a program like Wealthy Affiliate is more important because you learn from the successful professionals. What could be better than that?

Yeah, internet marketing courses are expensive…but that is the price you pay for a college education. I’m not saying it’s worthless, just that people should really think twice about paying for an actual degree for these kinds of jobs if it’s not needed. You definitely can get the same support, training an experience from cheaper alternatives (like WA).

You’ve created an awesome clear site here :)

I didn’t realize internet marketing courses were $10,000 and upwards. That’s a crazy amount of money, especially when we can start with Wealthy Affiliate for Free and no doubt receive much better quality training from Kyle and the rest of the community ;)

Neil :D
