A very small number of people got very angry at me recently for trying to talk about marketing without having a marketing degree.
Less than 50% of marketers and 10% of CMOs have a marketing degree.
I have nothing against a marketing degree but people with degrees need to chill.

We're not in the 1990s. There are plenty of ways to learn marketing and a degree is only one of them.
It's awesome that you have a degree but your credential doesn't give you the right to be a gatekeeper and police who gets to have a say.

Personally, I have huge respect for people with degrees and I always try to engage with criticism is good faith.
But the very small but very vocal segment of degree holders who have taken it upon themselves to harass and disparage non-degree holders needs to chill.

As always, I'm open to being corrected and happy to engage with any constructive feedback in the comments.
