[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Marketing major in college with a technical/practical minor.

They’ll get a decent marketing role paying $66-$70k+, lower than consulting or finance right out but way more peace. As long as they do it for a few years out of school and just enjoy life outside of work, they’ll be able to earn a T15/T20 MBA.

From there they’ll get a brand marketing/CPG role ($120-$133k base), a marketing LDP with upward organizational movement ($133-$150k), or product marketing management ($150k+). Skills are transferable across industries if they get laid off and AI reduces the grunt work but enhances the human side. You’re welcome.[/quote]

Sounds like a lot of work.  Does it top out higher than you mention?

I’ll put another plug in for engineering.  It’s a 4-year degree, and you make good money out of the gate. The ceiling is lower than some big bucks careers, but still solid.  You can do the startup thing and work long hours, or find a more traditional industry, or even government roles depending on your branch.  And if you want to make big bucks, you can go into engineering leadership/managment and you probably don’t even need to get an MBA to do it. [/quote]
