[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Psychology looks more prestigious than marketing, but serves a similar career function in a very important career for our economy. It's also relevant to parenting and relationships. It's liberal arts in a neat little package. [/quote]
psych and consumer behavior in marketing would be useful.  I would do a BBA with a minor in psych, though.  The other way is harder to find a job.[/quote]
Yes. I have a bachelor's in psych + MBA and work in market research. I love what I do, super interesting work and I make good money. Psychology is VERY relevant to my job and I'm very glad I have the background. That said, I did enter the workforce almost two decades ago. If I were picking a major in 2023, I would do business/marketing/economics as a primary major and then add psych as a double major or as a minor.

Having an understanding of human behavior is good for SO many fields. Psychology is not the most ideal major by itself, but pairs nicely with tons of other things. [/quote]
