Course of Study- Small Business Preservation (Through Modern Digital Marketing) Interdisciplinary Research Degree Track

Statement and Overview

When I had started this assignment in IDS 3933, I felt very drawn to Ireland and Scotland; especially their education models. This hasn’t changed. I am now devoting myself to helping Americans gain affordable education in entrepreneurial skills via search engine optimization via THEY’RE. THEY’RE was a thought I’ve had since I was 8 years old and that I’ve been developing and evolving since my junior year of high school. I am working on gaining a 501c3 status and any necessary NY business licenses. The main goal of THEY’RE is to educate other aspiring entrepreneurs, freelancers, or businessowners on organic digital marketing tactics with a focus on search engine optimization. THEY’RE is a portion of what I want to run. I also want to have my own agency Fleur de la Ville that works with the adult entertainment industry focusing on sex shops for organic digital marketing. If the loan system (Sallie Mae and FAFSA) both weren’t corrupt and ran up interest rates to the point of never being able to pay off loans, I’d probably go to Abereen and get my graduate degree. Sadly, private interest has proven more important than letting poor people get an education in America. Thus, I’ve relocated to New York and plan to work internationally with clients in both Scotland and Ireland. I think my course of study reflects an overall entrepreneurial theme and would reflect it moreso if different classes were available. In addition to both THEY’RE and Fleur de la Ville, I hope to one day create an accessible (both economically and literally) software that utilizes cultural trends for marketing predictions. For example, if a salon is opening with a specific color-theme and for doing just hair with a certain name; what areas by zip code should it open to have the most success? Or; if I’m running a bar with an industrial theme in 32825; what color scheme and what font for a logo would be most appealing to locals? ; this is why I have more social sciences (specifically Anthropology) courses compared to communications despite what I do being organic digital marketing. My career goals haven’t shifted, my course of study has. Last time I also mentioned entertainment law, which would’ve been rolled in with THEY’RE. I’ve shifted THEY’RE’s ideology from a digital marketing agency that would be discounted for artists to an educational reform for anyone who would like to pursue their own passions as a business.
