The 5 stages of marketing

Tonight we came to the conclusion that there are actually five stages to mastering the art of marketing:

Level 1: You don't know about marketing.
You are a happy marketing target.
Level 2: You understand marketing.
You're starting to think you'd better be marketing than being marketed at.
Level 3: You master marketing.
You realize you now have the power to manipulate people and they don't even complain about it (cf #1).
Level 4: Steve Jobs.
Level 5: Jesus.

you actually forgot the 2b) level (where the 90% of the marketers stands still). You aren't capable of doing absolutely nothing - noone really knows what "marketing" means - you read a book about some Japanese general that was using marketing while killing his enemies - et voilà, you're a marketer, you finally found a job!
