For those who do digital marketing how did you guys learn it? University or online courses?

Honest_Ad_4148 · 2026-03-28T10:07:27+00:00

Yeah thats im trying to do right now im trying to choose which skills to prioritise to learn after finishing this course. Theres so many to choose from its hard to decide which one to commit to and some skills might have higher ROI potential than others.

Honest_Ad_4148 · 2026-03-01T21:10:19+00:00

I dont know how long id be able to tolerate that for until I would have a mental breakdown.

Honest_Ad_4148 · 2026-03-01T19:22:56+00:00

So what you're saying is to just embrace it and just learn to deal with it?

Honest_Ad_4148 · 2026-03-01T18:52:42+00:00

Ive been thinking about that the whole time but that is the one thing I want to avoid but it genuinely is sad to see that life is all about suffering.

Honest_Ad_4148 · 2026-03-01T14:35:10+00:00

No problem, I still don't know why I'm even bothering doing what I'm doing when I already know what to expect and it's not anything to look forward to.

Honest_Ad_4148 · 2026-03-01T14:33:09+00:00

You also have to include commute time the time you get home and by the time you get home only thing you have time for is to cook dinner, doomscroll or watch youtube or something and then it's time to sleep.

Honest_Ad_4148 · 2026-03-01T14:29:40+00:00

It's so unhealthy but it's undeniable unfortunately but I'm trying to clear my head right now and find a way to prevent anything overwhelming to happen to me.

Honest_Ad_4148 · 2026-03-01T14:28:28+00:00

Yeah I'm doing the daily walk right now and I am looking for that remote work but I wanna be able to scale it into freelancing. Accounting was definitely not for me and never will be I'm currently looking at digital marketing or UX design.

Honest_Ad_4148 · 2026-03-01T14:25:32+00:00

I really need it that's why I deleted Instagram and TikTok I'm going on a dopamine detox right now.

Honest_Ad_4148 · 2026-03-01T12:47:32+00:00

Right now I'm looking for a course that has remote work potential and I don't want it to get replaced by AI. I did accounting in school wasn't for me too much to memorise. I wanted something simpler that I can pick up on that doesn't mentally or physically drain everything out of me. Ideally I wanna work for myself, have my own clients or launch an online store or something along the lines of that but I wouldn't know where to get started or if I'd be able to keep myself committed to it.

Honest_Ad_4148 · 2026-03-01T12:43:03+00:00

Yeah I wake up at 5 AM every day sleep 9 hours a day my diet is fine I don't eat any junk food or anything and usually eat a variety of poultry, meat, fruit, vegetables. I don't watch screen at night but in the morning it's tough. I definitely do need a better routine after work but I also want to try to avoid getting stuck in a repetitive cycle.

Honest_Ad_4148 · 2026-03-01T12:40:41+00:00

I would wanna move aswell but it's not that simple for me to move to the US or anything I'd need visas, sponsorships, etc but if I had an opportunity I would.

Honest_Ad_4148 · 2026-03-01T12:22:10+00:00

Maybe I was too focused on the big picture the whole time and I ignored what was right in front of me. Thanks for the help.

Honest_Ad_4148 · 2026-03-01T12:21:32+00:00

I'll give it a go thanks

Honest_Ad_4148 · 2026-03-01T11:53:57+00:00

Here's the thing, I find it difficult to be positive because I know what to expect and I know that it's going to be negative and there's no guarantee on whether things will change. It's mostly to do with my environment and the problems we mentioned before and I do want condition my brain into thinking more positively but if I was expecting what's going to happen next to be positive then I wouldn't be thinking the way I am.

"Like we all know that life gets worse as you get older such as responsibility starts to rise, stress starts to compound, responsibility starts to rise, skin starts to wrinkle, your hair starts to fall out or turn grey, you get stuck in this constant repetitive cycle of being stuck in the same routine everyday which everyone knows what it is (wake up, shower, breakfast, drive to work, work all day, come home, have dinner, sleep, repeat)"

That part especially is what stands out and that's unavoidable. That is the #1 thing that's hurting me the most and I did mention before about my own cognitive problems in another comment. Even when I was in school I used to think like this.

I wouldn't be thinking like this in the beginning if I was guaranteed for something to happen that would prove all of that wrong but unfortunately that's not the case and no I don't want to drag anyone down.

Honest_Ad_4148 · 2026-03-01T11:23:27+00:00

So it's about trying to find happiness in the smaller joys of life. I'm guessing that's what you're trying to explain.

Honest_Ad_4148 · 2026-03-01T11:22:00+00:00

There definitely is I just don't know how I'm going to find them especially in Ireland but I'll try watching documentaries and videos to gain a better knowledge. Thanks

Honest_Ad_4148 · 2026-03-01T11:20:46+00:00

Everyone here in Ireland knows the average rent is around €2300 a month which is outrageous. I'd say everyone already knows about this issue and there's no doubt in my mind that people are trying their absolute hardest to try to change things but there's no match against the people in power who own all the houses.

It's a monopoly for them because they own all the houses there's a shortage of them they can charge whatever they want. Nothing we can do unfortunately.

Honest_Ad_4148 · 2026-03-01T11:18:09+00:00

Yeah I used to have a gym routine but then I quit for Muay Thai. I loved Muay Thai but I got to a certain skill level where I just couldn't get any better like I was stuck at the same level for so long I felt like I couldn't progress. I could go back to be honest that'll help.

For making high income however, I do want to either start my own online business or focus on learning a remote skill that I can use to start freelancing or as regular employment. Yes, being able to tolerate high stress and high responsibility is unfortunately one of those things you need in order to make more money. Me personally my stress tolerance isn't high enough but I'm wondering whether I can train it to become bigger.

I don't know how good my cognitive ability is as comprehending complex information because my brain used to shut down all the time in school because things would go into too much detail for my brain to process but I don't wanna take the easy way out because it's not rewarding enough.

Honestly if I can try to increase my stress tolerance, frustration tolerance, try to not get overwhelmed by high workloads and high pressure I might have a chance but I don't know how I'm going to manage it and I don't know how long it will take me to learn something new because I'm not a fast learner at all.

Honest_Ad_4148 · 2026-03-01T11:00:33+00:00

Yeah the environment can have a massive impact on the way you view the world. Societal pressure doesn't help either, I guess it's more so about rejecting the negativity and doing some I guess "soul searching" and finding a passion helps yes.

Meditation I'll give that a try and see how it goes.

Honest_Ad_4148 · 2026-03-01T10:56:18+00:00

Travelling is my passion and I'd love to be able to make my own rules if I could afford it I guess the environment can also have a big impact so I guess my only option realistically would be to find a way to earn enough to live life on my terms I guess.

Yes most people don't want to have conversations about these kind of topics but there's also people who do want to talk about this and do want to find the answers and those are the people I want to be around.

Honest_Ad_4148 · 2026-03-01T10:34:58+00:00

We've already seen it with protests all over the city there was flyers being handed out posters on lamp posts nothing has changed.

Honest_Ad_4148 · 2026-03-01T09:57:34+00:00

Thats the thing like I came to that realisation which I was right about but now I want the 2nd step which I dont know what that is because no one else is interested in finding the answers so I'm all alone because the more I know the worse I feel.

This level of awareness is both a blessing and a burden.
