If you’re a graduate pass-out struggling to find a well-paying, growth-focused career, you’re not alone.
Most fresh graduates end up in sales, call centres, or admin roles with no clear progression — or they opt for a generic MBA that still leads to the same type of jobs they were trying to avoid.
Digital marketing is different. It’s one of the fastest-growing career fields, with high demand for skilled professionals, strong starting salaries, and huge freelance/entrepreneurship potential.
