Gen Ed Learning

Since it’s the end of the semester, my marketing class was coming to a close. But I absolutely loved the one I look. I learned so much more than I thought would have. I surprised myself with all that you could learn in one class. But, I learned so many useful things that I now have constantly in the back of my head. Marketing is nothing like I thought it was going to be and I am so glad I took it.


Marketing has taught me so many things, from how to price to how a business location is important. The class taught me a bunch of things, even though I probably won’t remember all that happened, I will still remember the important things that I thought would help me in my future. The things I learned made me look around in my day-to-day life and realize how prominent marketing was. Marketing isn’t just the promotion of a product. It’s from the planning to placing to promoting and advertising it. Marketing is so boring there are so many jobs that come out of it. Graphic design is a whole department in a marketing company or a company in general.

I always wanted to be a business owner. Be my boss and have others hire me for a short time to design whatever they needed. I was glad to hear things and what it takes in the marketing aspect of it, I thought of what I wanted to do and thought that maybe I would do it later, but not right away. I learned that it takes a lot of work on this aspect to be even considered someone to go to for business. It takes a lot of work but it is worth it in the end. Being able to be out there and stay out there takes lots of dedication, that I don’t know I have.

I would love to do this kind of thing, but maybe I should stick with a place that already has that covered. I don’t want to have to do anything extra besides what I enjoy. I don’t want to be stressed so much that I lose the joy in my day-to-day job. And theirs nothing wrong with going to a company at all, it offers great opportunities I could never get being on my own. But the only question is where, where should I go to feel the most at home and happy to be?


I never thought I needed to take a marketing class. I even tried to test out of it. Little did I know that it would be one of my favorite classes. From the class content to the instructor, everything was laid out perfectly. I was able to learn easily and expand on the knowledge I thought I knew but did not know. I discovered that I should rethink my options before jumping into the world of business, especially marketing.
