    If you’re switching from a marketing degree to a creative career, build a portfolio with personal or freelance projects to showcase your skills. Consider taking graphic design or copywriting courses to enhance your abilities. This can help ease the transition while managing financial and family expectations.

    Attending industry events and conferences is another option to consider. These events can provide great opportunities to network with people in the creative industry and learn about potential job opportunities. When looking for affairs, try to find ones that align with your interests and make a point to connect with people while you’re there.
