Not knowing where to start? or What to do? were the questions that constantly nagged me after the completion of my Bachelors degree in BS Home Economics and specialization in Textiles and Fashion Designing. Now I am not the kind of person who has her whole future planned for herself, especially the part of choosing a career and achieving the milestone of “the dream job”. Then there came a phase in my life when I didn’t wanted to do anything and just relax and have fun. Maybe the ultimate goal for me when I was in college was to finish my degree with good grades and enjoy. Well that was not happening and my family often tried to persuade me to do something useful that will keep me busy and in doing so also learn something new. Yes I did choose Textiles and Fashion Designing because it was the field of my interest but never had I set the goal to become a fashion designer.

Until one day I gave up to the persuasion and decided to do what my family wants me to do. I had two options, one was to start Masters degree program and the other as suggested to me by my Uncle was to enroll in Digital Marketing Nanodegree Program offered by Udacity. Looking at the wide scope of Digital Marketing and understanding its importance in today’s world, I finally decided on doing it.

I may have not been too keen or excited at first when I started, but now I can surely say that it is very interesting and I enjoy being in the world of Digital Marketing. Learning something new and adding a whole new bunch of knowledge and skills to your portfolio is always a good idea. Keep going and keep learning new things and also teach them to people around you.

My decision of enrolling in Digital Marketing Nanodegree Program has opened doors to learning something new and venturing into a whole new world.
