You get the responses you can expect. Advice and perspections differ from person to person, and I give strong comments, so you can actually think and reconsider, which not a lot of people are willing to do. I don't care about your feelings, I just say what I think.
 
Like I care you have had great internships as a student, it's a common fact you have to move a broom around as a basic logistics student, expectations are low, the appreciation is great. The same for your internship, just slightly higher leveled. The fact is that you only get simple tasks in an internship. You are a risk, you have no experience, you only have learned some basic tools, which in real life you won't use much. No business would instantly give you decent tasks instantly.
 
Also, just like being an entrepreneur, is marketing merely about skill and creativity. You can't learn it, you either have the skill or you don't. I have seen many marketing students fail, and ending up starting everything over again.
 
Besides if you are actually good in marketing, you would be able to sell yourself and wouldn't shot down the negativity, but make a good "sales" pitch. You only push people away, nobody really "buys" what you want to "sell" right now. And if you don't change your approach, nobody would "buy".
 
You may rate me down, you may say anything against me, but in the end of the day I'm not the one who wants to sell here anything, nor buy anything, unlike what you are trying to achieve.
 
Also, for your information: Some extra dots and comma's would be helpful.
 
Come up with your sales pitch, and hopefully get what you want!

You do know I only asked for any kind of experience people are WILLING to share and I am not trying to sell anything or buy anything. Furthermore, those "strong comments" that you are giving aren't really for giving people good advice, as a matter of fact it only makes you look condescending. In addition, you say that marketing is about skill and creativity which I completely agree but on the other hand I also did look on good videos about sales pitches and as of now the sales pitches on advertisements that I like are because of Bill Mays, he knows how to sell himself as well as attract people with a certain charm. To emphasize, I believe I have what it takes to be a good marketer and salesman and I only wanted to broaden my knowledge in business by asking anyone that was WILLING to share their experience to add to my own knowledge of how business works which most of you here try to twist what I said and say that I'm being needy.

This is why I don't reply much on any kind of forums. People just really don't seem to process information well.
For some reason you feel the need to follow me around and give negatives. I'm sure this will be one more! Yes

its rather sad to see how asking a friendly and innocent question in a business game forum, and responding to it with a personal view - which i thought was the actual point of this topic - can end up into such a negative atmosphere.

@mike how did I get frustrated?

1. your response gave me that impression:
 
Swaymaster
I should have just saved the money for capital :/.

2. The harsh responses from other players which, had i started the topic myself, would personally frustrate me.
 
You asked to share experience related to marketing and owning a business. I don’t know you, my response simply reflects an attempt to politely respond with something meaningful, based on my personal view. I've been working as a Production Manager in an advertising company for almost 5 years,  hold a Marketing planer diploma and look back to more than 30 years of experience in marketing and running own businesses.  The quote from Albert Einstein hangs in a frame at my office.

Anyway, this conversation isn't really working out, so I wish you all the luck in the world, seriously.
 
Meanwhile, I'm listening to "Munich Machine - Get On The Funk Train", which is far more enjoyable than this topic.

Starting your own business requires and initial cash out lay.  This is easy enough to understand.  After you have started a business managing your cash flow becomes very important.
