[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stay away from marketing and they’ll be fine.  Suggest a more quantitative track like finance but take full advantage of the networking and internship stuff and they’ll land great.  [/quote]

Marketing is very hot. These days they've added data analytics to the programs, and with ai probably will get even hotter.

The person I know in marketing is doing very, very well for herself. She's close to retirement at this point.[/quote]

Marketing is good, avoid advertising, which is usually not in the business major, but in Communications school.  At a good school, marketing majors take the same strong "business core curriculum" as a finance/accounting/real estate/entreprenuership majors---2 Econs, 2 accountings, and intro to finance, marketing, IT, etc.  and then takes 5-10 classes that focus on Marketing, but really it's only 5 Marketing required and they can choose the other 5 within other areas of business. So you can tweak the major and make it much stronger with the right business electives for your 3-5 extra business courses

Exactly.  No one earns a marketing degree without taking quantitative classes like finance,  accounting,  etc.[/quote]
