[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am a bit confused. Most business programs are not math heavy. Is the issue that she isn’t getting good enough grades in the econ and accounting classes? Usually you just have to get through them and then you can focus on what you want (marketing, entrepreneurship, etc).[/quote]

This just isn't true! Business IS math. Including Marketing. There are no business majors that aren't math heavy. And there are no business careers that aren't math heavy now. [b]Marketing does not equal communications and it does not equal social media.[/b] I work for a Fortune 5 company in operations. Our marketing team does analytics all day, every day.

This board is very strange.

OP - I would rec communications as well. She sounds like she could be good at grant or proposal writing. Lots of research, facts and good for an introvert.  [/quote]

Just wanted to bold that part. I was at one of the big banks for 15 years in marketing and spent much of each day [b]working with Excel models or at a Bloomberg terminal[/b]. My entire team had to be comfortable with analytics.

I second the recommendation for communications. [/quote]

Right, so this is not math. This is what marketing people think is math.[/quote]
