However, if you want a shot at a successful career in marketing where you could possibly own a company abroad or work as a hot-shot expat, then by all means enroll and intern in Thailand.

This means the shifts that have happened in the big &amp; developed countries -such as a huge e-commerce shift from traditional shopping- are about to happen on a large scale. You can be amongst the first marketers to help these changes happen, hence establishing yourself as an important asset in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"dfd-spacer-module\"  data-units=\"%\" data-wide_resolution=\"1280\" data-wide_size=\"25\" data-normal_resolution=\"1024\" data-normal_size=\"25\" data-tablet_resolution=\"800\" data-tablet_size=\"25\" data-mobile_resolution=\"480\" data-mobile_size=\"25\" style=\"height: 25px;\"><\/div><div id=\"idinfobox6a25107067282\" class=\"dfd-info-box clearfix style-03 layout-01  idinfobox6a25107067282 text-center\" ><div class=\"dfd-animate-container\"><div class=\"icon-wrapper\"><div class=\"module-icon\" ><div class=\"hover-layer\" ><\/div><i class=\"featured-icon dfd-icon-map_marker dfd_icon_set-icon-map_marker\" style=\"opacity:1;\" ><\/i><\/div><\/div><h5 class=\"info-box-title \" style=\"color: #f6b917 !important; \">2.
