• Answer:

  In my opinion, you should rather concentrate on making a career in marketing than in project management. There is so much more growth and challenge in marketing. Also, your degree and work experience is a great advantage since you have experience in graphic design and video editing, you can easily get social media marketing jobs. Once you have this experience, then you can further grow to become online marketing manager. Since internet is so powerful and prominent, online marketing is becoming more popular in every business these days. So look for social media marketing entry level jobs in indeed.com and linkedin.com and apply for all the jobs. It would be even better if you can start a blog on any topic of your interest. This will showcase your writing skills which are necessary for marketing as well as show your knowledge of social media marketing. You can also do some social media marketing course online on sites like udemy.com. After 2 years experience, you can do MBA in marketing which will open more avenues and higher pay for you. Or if you cannot get a marketing job now, then save money and do MBA in marketing, do internships and thats all you need for a successful career
