Hi, my name is peter and i am new to this forum. I am 22 and have a business diploma which I completed 6 months ago. For the last 6 months I have been working in a low paying factory job just passing time and enjoying having money.
I am considering continuing my study to do a bachelor of management studies majoring in marketing.
I am not certain what i want to do in life but know the general area and considering many people change careers / say they do not want to do their current job for the rest of their life I am not worried about that.
My situation financial / living is such that I can continue studying if I want to, I am just weighing up whether it is worth it or not. I feel it would give me a better foundation. It is 10 papers study ontop of what I have already done.
I would not mind having a sales position in a shop and eventually becoming store manager or equivalent. I also would not mind starting my own small business such as car grooming when I have more money. I also enjoy marketing and may want some sort of marketing job when I am older.
I assume there are many business minded people on these forums, some of which are even employers and/or work in the marketing industry so it would be great to hear from those people and any other advice opinions people may have. All responses appreciated.
I am wondering things such as..
what difference would the bachelors degree make compared to a diploma when trying to become a store manager or marketer? Would it significantly improve my chances?
How would I become a store manager or marketer if I did not continue studying and do a bachelors degree?
