Do you think one can get a marketing job without a marketing degree?

It is said getting a sales or markeing job is easy but keeping it is very difficult. If you get one you should stick to it and gain experiance while you are young. You will have to do lots of travelling and handle presure. You will need to have a target oriented life style. Only then you wil lsucceed. If you can have a1 or2 year experiance in direct selling then thats more valuable than a degree.
