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.
