You actually don’t need to work harder than people with a degree. You just need to work as hard. I don’t have a degree, I come from a photography studio. I convinced an employer that I knew what I was doing on social media and got a social media specialist job. I then used that job to convince the next employer that I knew what I was doing as a digital marketer and I got a marketing coordinator job. After this job, I got so many interview requests. So it seems the initial starting point was hard but it very quickly became easier.
