Vfx vs Digital Marketing

	Advantages	Disadvantages
Vfx	It's a creative field	The cost of course is high
	low fee compared to vfx	online work is more
	scope is more	The best institutions are less
Digital Marketing	scope is more in the field	It depends on practice

Both are best career options but digital marketing is affordable and very easy when we compare with vfx. To learn vfx you need 16 GB- 32 GB RAM laptop or computer with 2GB graphic card, Intel i5 processor, etc. but when it comes to digital marketing just you need only internet connection laptop or computer, you don’t need high end system configuration computer to learn digital marketing.

In both the courses we need to work hard but in vfx institutions only 50% can learn 25% in online courses and another 25% in the job area. But in digital marketing the institutions can learn 50% and while practicing another 50% again we need not to learn other courses. But we need to update frequently in vfx or digital marketing.

You can learn digital marketing in short time when compared to vfx. while studying only you can practice in digital marketing. Digital Marketing doesn’t need eligibility of your educational qualification like in vfx. But we recommend to have any degree to get even better job opportunities in companies.

If you can afford high end configuration computer, fees and if you are really really passionate in vfx, take vfx as a career after discussing with your parents and mentor.

If you are unable to afford high fees and high end computer, then choose digital marketing career.
