Switching careers is tough but UDACITY makes it easy.
Udacity’s Digital Marketing Nanodegree is the sign I have been looking for and here is WHY!!

Life presents us with many choices all the time. In an interconnected world, when it comes to job and career, the choices are endless. Yet, so many of us remain stuck with the career our parents chose for us OR simply a job that does not excite us anymore. Everyone wants their dream job and an ideal career, but so many things prevent us from taking the next step. If you are someone like me, who wants a career in Marketing but holds many years of experience and a degree in another domain (Mechanical Engineering in my case) — Udacity’s Digital Marketing Nanodegree might be the answer to it all.
“When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.”
- Helen Keller
After 7 years of successful Mechanical Engineering career, switching to marketing field seemed like an impossible thing to do. Since I did not have the money to support advance education, the idea of accumulating debt scared me the most. Besides, switching careers meant starting from scratch, all over again. It meant spending at least 2–4 years of college and at least $50,000 debt to pay for the tuition. Thoughts like this kept me from pursuing my dream career until one day my friend sent me a link to Udacity’s Digital Marketing Nanodegree Program.
Not only was the Nano Degree affordable, but 3 months of dedication and focus could give me foundation for change I have been looking for. Now that I am a student of the Digital Marketing Nano Degree, as well as an ambassador for the same. This degree has given me hope and foundation to finally make the change I have been dreading for several years. Thanks, UDACITY!!
