Back when I was studying Journalism, I always hated Advertising and Marketing and everything about it. Even though both courses are part of Communications, we used to be more like rivals. I don’t know how to explain it, but for me (as a journalist) Ad people write in a repetitive way. Anyway…
After I finished my Bachelor in Journalism, guess where I ended up? In a Marketing course! That’s hilarious, isn’t it? Yeah, but it was my only option. I couldn’t choose between Tourism or Hospitality, no way. It was meant to be Marketing! Despite the firsts months in class were a bloody hell, I reckon I’ve made the right decision.
I’ve learnt so much with it. The Marketing course, that I just finished, gave me a wider impression of the Communication world. It’s all about the understanding of needs and desires of those people we maintain relationships with. Actually the whole marketing thing turned out to be quite interesting.
Marketing is about to set your objectives in smart way. So is your life! And that’s what I’m talking about. The marketing course opened my mind to figure out my future plans and goals, which I’m starting to set right now!
How about you,
Have you ever ended up doing something (anything) you first hated?
What did you learn with that?
Did you start to love it?
