  1. I combined this type of degree with a business minor and it’s been good to me so far. Tons of internship opportunities with really cool start-ups. You won’t be working at places like KPMG, Goldman Sachs, or any big business monsters, but many companies are looking into people with creativity+analytics. Just my two cents

  2. what did you do differently to get the Instagram up from the hundreds to thousands? Just cause this is the career I am wanting to pursue in. thank you ?

  3. Would you consider going to school for digital media and web design? If time doesn’t permit you to learn on your own?

  4. what are some good requirements for a digital media manager? Like should i take a community college course and making visuals and what not and also communications or marketing degree?

  5. For someone just starting do you think its a good idea to get some sort of certification for credibility or do you think its better to just learn on your own

  6. My daughter is already in school majoring in computer science. She declared a minor in digital communications. She’s almost finished with college (next year), and will start her youtube channel this summer. Is she on the right path? BTW…”older people”. (salty!!!)

  7. Is it possible to get a job in the film or animation industry with a Digital Media degree? I’m a little worried because most of my required classes are coding based and I truly HATE coding with the grieving passion. My adviser expects me to get a programming/coding based job, but that’s not what I had in mind. All I want is a job editing professional videos OR making animations (cartoons). So tell me, did I pick the wrong major?

  8. you said something like, most employees work and then jump ship to get a higher paying gig bc companies have stopped giving raises. I’d love to hear more about that.

  9. are there jobs in digital media that are based more on technical areas rather than marketing?

  10. I took engineering at my technical school 17 im 18 just graduated and im majoring in and practice digital media programs like adobe its cool and alot more funner than engineering.

  11. I WANT A DEGREE IN DigitalMarketing and EngineeringTechnology and GraphicDesign commmunications

  12. I CAN DO IT ALL . I DO A LITTLE GRAPHIC DESIGNING AS WELL.I have an Entreprenurial aspect of being a freelancer.
