How I Discovered my new path with Udacity DMND: my story

It all started when I shifted my career from maritime transport to marketing and had my MBA degree and started my path in the Egyptian market, I started with an advertising agency where I started as a client service coordinator and then shifted to media production to gain all the diversity I can in the same place before changing the company or upgrading it, then I moved to a branding agency and got my experience which helped a lot to understand my new profession but from a different perspective and lastly moved to social media startup as I always believed that its time for the digital marketing and its the new marketing trend, and it was really hard to understand it at the beginning and what's going up in the market.

In fact, there were some weaknesses at the beginning, and it was a tough start that I couldn't handle till and started searching for online courses or videos to help me get over this especially that my bachelor degree was way far from what I'm working on now and my only business background was the MBA with marketing major with almost nothing related to digital marketing so I started to work hard on my self and searching the internet for courses and diplomas to help me learn more as it was vague at the beginning.

The question here was, am I on the right track or do I need to change my profession again?

I came across the EG FWD initiative, the Udacity digital marketing nano degree which I enrolled in blindly, and especially that it's under the supervision of the country which made me feel comfortable that will be beneficial by all means, and it's a new approach that will lead to freelancing gigs on the side which means extra income too, now I can feel the difference after proceeding and what I was missing and how it got a huge impact on me especially that I didn't even graduate yet.
