Should I pursue a Marketing Degree. I am very creative and have a strong portfolio. My initial plan was to major economics- I do understand that is stronger than a marketing degree, but will a solid portfolio (that I plan on actively building) along with a marketing degree would increase my employability after grad?

Neither will increase your employability competitively. But you are a “digital marketer” already it says…?

It really depends on what kind of working environment you want in the future

I wouldn't look at it at increasing employment odds, but really just different paths.

Despite what you hear about AI killing the industry, I tend to believe this is a stable field... though is going through some changes. The key to getting employed in my opinion is having demonstrated experience and interest in the field. A portfolio will help. As will internships. That'll give you the leg up compared to someone that graduates with a marketing degree and all they've done is wait tables.

Got the back to office mail today.
What to do?
I don't want to leave home.

I have been an officer at the department for 5 years and have deal with nothing but toxicity. I’m looking to possibly stay in the field by going to another department or completely overhaul my life by leaving law enforcement. It has caused trouble in my personal life and caused me to dial back who I am professionally. Not sure what my next step is.
