Season 2 Ep 7. Must Contain: College Degrees

Kristin and Kristin are joined this week by Kevin Dieny to talk marketing and it's relationship to college degrees. There's so much to talk about, which is why you might have noticed this episode is double the length. But we promise it's worth it. While you may not think of a college degree as a buzzword (buzz phrase?), you probably should. Take a listen to the discussion on whether or not a college degree is a requirement for a marketing job, what skills are most valuable to hiring managers (from the POV of the hosts), where you can gain skills and experience before you apply for your next job, and much more. 

If your short on time, the takeaways this episode are our Final Thoughts . You can skip ahead to 46:01 for them.
