Marketing/Media jobs for 17 year old?

I'm 17 and I really want to pursue a career in the media industry such as marketing, advertising or PR and I'm looking for a job that relates somewhat to that. I know it's hard for a 17 year old to find a job in that industry, especially without experience or a degree but does anyone know what type of job would suit this or if there are any even available as most jobs in that field require at least a degree.
I would even be happy with an internship for the summer holiday

It might be worth contacting local businesses in your area and explain the type of work you want and see if any will offer you some voluntary work

There would likely be a lot of unpaid internships out there. There is also a lot of demand for Social Media interns (which would probably be paid), which might be worth exploring!

Note: I run my own business called Prospela and we can match students looking to explore certain industries with real employees for careers advice & live insights to work life reality. It might be of interest to you!
