Also I am trying to do the same thing as you and I collected some free digital marketing learning resources. Google, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest has resources to learn how to market on their platforms. Coursera, edx and LinkedIn Learning has courses too. You can get LinkedIn Learning for free if you have a library card.

How did you do the career switch if I may ask?

I feel small agencies are more open to hiring. Also keep networking with people in the field. I went into digital marketing with a math degree. my first job out of college was at a very small agency, most of my co workers had non marketing degrees.

I think so. They've already got an extensive library and have consistently over 20 years delivered the best shows on TV, period. I understand that the core AT&T business may seem like a "liability" to the valuation but I still think that their valuation doesn't make sense. What am I missing?

PA: Biden extends lead beyond 35K ballots

My intuition is that the networks want to call all three to provide extra margin for error given the stakes and fine margins.

My dad who lives in Asia just announced that he had a medical issue. I’m starting to enter the age where I’m going to take care of him financially. It’s a $2,000 hospital bill which in the US is nothing compared to what it represents there (which he can’t afford). He’s going to be fine! Just wanted to share with this group as many of you can understand what it feels like to support your parents when they’re old, not the other way around. I feel so blessed I can help him. 🙏🏽
