After accomplishing my engineering in 2013, I started thinking and exploring my future goals and career, etc., similarly to other students.
Some of my fellows started preparing for government exams and some decided to study further for master’s programs.
Literally, I was not interested to be part of any kind of rat race. My main objective was to understand myself.
At that time, I had numerous questions like knowing about my life goals, career preferences, what kind of person I want to be in the future, etc.
I did not want to take any premature decisions. So I decided to give myself some more time to explore new things.
As I was from an engineering background, I knew the logical process of solving problems.
So I did some part-time jobs to get some idea about what kind of market situation was at that time, and which kind of challenges were there in the market related to marketing & technologies.
Why I Chose Digital Marketing for My Career
I observed that internet technology and marketing were something that captured my attention. I found that by using internet technology and marketing, we can solve many problems for businesses as well as for the public.
This was the first time, I ever realized how powerful internet marketing technology could be.
But I did not know much in detail so that I could choose digital marketing for my career.
So, I planned for dedicating the whole year from 2014 to 2015, to researching Internet marketing & technology to make any final decision on whether I could choose digital marketing for my career or not.
This was the first time when I took digital marketing very seriously. Actually, I was planning to build a career for myself on my own terms. For example, a career having
- No Boss
- No 9-5 Regular Job
- Financial Freedom, etc.
These goals are ideal for anybody who dreams to make a career in digital marketing. But let me tell you very clearly, this is not as easy to achieve as it is advertised.
Initially, I thought that it would be easy, similar to others – soon I realized that this was just the beginning of the journey.
But I promised myself that I would stick to the plan until I achieve these goals. 🙂
