I went to (literal) clown school. Red nose and everything.
I learned so many transferable skills. I’m an excellent public speaker and writer, I can communicate complex ideas in simple and entertaining bite-sized presentations. I had to learn how to market and sell my small touring comedy troupe and in doing so had to make marketing and advertising work on a budget. I planned travel itineraries, I filled out risk assessments, I fire-proofed storage facilities, I handled people who were incompetent, I helped under performing people get better, I handled psychotic meltdowns and screaming tantrums from divas.
if I’d actually gone to business school I would be a lot worse at doing business.
The value of a degree isn’t “does the name of the degree reflect trends in what Forbes writers jerk off to” but “what skills are transferable.”
If you can underwater basket weave I’d bet you’re one hell of an expert in safety protocol, materials procurement, design and application of product, self-management, communication under pressure and you’ve created a niche product with a unique sell prop with a story based marketing campaign.
I’d take that over “what are the 4/5/7/9/11/15 P’s of marketing” any day.
