❓Is it best to study and get a degree in Marketing?

Bat out of Hell the Musical!
Last night! The story was ridiculous 🤣 But the dancing, singing, music... Wow!!! Incredible!!
The mum - just fabulous! She played a great part, amazing voice.
And the musicians... The pianist and guitarist were so good! I often watched them rather than the characters 🤣

It's now 6.27 and I could happily sleep.

I've drawn a poster, but I want to put it onto the computer so I can create it on there and add colour, manipulate elements etc
Do I have to scan it? Can I scan it on a photo copyier and email it to myself, then upload to Photoshop or Illustrator?
Appreciate any advice,
Dinosaur Jam

Surprisingly, I feel I could draw though... If I had the energy to get off the sofa and get a pencil and sketch book... Ha.

I've come home as still not well enough to be in work. Gutted.
Also, I really don't want to leave my work. I am really chuffed I did the application, and it's helped me to look at what I've achieved and all I have to offer, but I'm not ready to jump ship.
It's a good thing 🙂
