I don't have a ton to add, but these threads don't get a lot of love and I want to keep lurking them.

Took an online course for a month on digital marketing, fizzled out of it, only takeaway I got from it is that you should get google adwords certified, basic seo/ppc whatever, put together a good resume and try to get your foot in the door for a digital marketing job. The prospect of online money is exciting because you assume there is an extremely vast array of ways you can syphon money from people. But it all just boils down to spam, affiliate links, youtube, blogs, dropshipping. Not really including freelance in that. When you genuinely do not believe you can make money with it, it's hard to dedicate time into learning it. Especially because a lot of it is just to push some type of product or "thing" that you have created.

Halfway through listening to "How to fail at almost everything and still win big" and he pushes the idea that you should have systems you follow for success, not goals. A lot of what he talks about sounds good, it's just you kind of have to already have a clue of what you are good at or think you can do before implementing them. I don't know exactly what qualifies a skill or thing I think I'd be good at, like you hear that stuff and try to dig in your mind back to childhood for hints or something and it all seems worthless.

TL:DR: Digital Marketing is extremely demoralizing and feels worthless when going from a 0 skillset NEET and trying to somehow have money drop in your paypal. The mindsets used for success is also worthless IF you have no clue in the first place what you are good/excel at, if anything.

I also have a question on degree. I know this is entrepreneur general so it might not exactly fit in here but it is mentioned in the dropbox.
Bear in mind that I can completely study for free. That means this is only a time investment and I won't be going into any debt. I will of course be trying to do some part time entrepreneur stuff even if I do go study.
Is a MBA degree actually good? The guy says so in the dropbox but doesn't really say why.
What do you guys think about a finance degree specialising in investment? Seems good to me even if you don't go work with it. Or is it just a meme? Any other degree ideas?
Thanks for the advice, frens.
