Because there's no standard certification or license, aspiring digital marketing managers can find themselves employable by every industry imaginable. High-tech companies who hire digital professionals are less likely to be the traditional companies that follow 9-to-5 job. It's a profession ideal for people who plan to work overseas and can also be a good choice for those who wish to do freelance work/telecommuting.

6. Become the change you want to see
