Everyone wants a high-paying job with an Internet company. If I am not coding, is marketing the best major to have on my resume?
We chose your question because you only learn the answer with experience. Online marketing was fast becoming one of the pillars of business before you were born.

With that in mind, what are you supposed to study to prepare yourself for this industry? Most students agree on this simple answer. Focus on grasping the basics of digital: learn HTML, major in a marketing field, promote yourself on social media, and build your personal brand. These routes are valuable, but one factor is clearly overlooked… creativity!
