Pretend you're a digital marketing head at Meta or any company. You're tasked to hire 1 jr. digital marketing consultant/executive.

1. You've one guy that's B-tech dropout, but used his remaining 2-3 years learning Content marketing, Copywriting, Marketing Funnels. He's got few clients from Upwork. So he has basically something to show for his proof of work.

2. A proper marketing student. This guy passed every exam with top grades. He got his MBA too. And while studying, he attended 'workshops' or 'internships' with companies in touch with his college.

(Let's assume both are well behaved and likeable in the interview. Both are easy to work with and coachable.)

Who would you hire from these 1 & 2 based on their previous experience?
