i am a business/ adm major and im about ready to start my upper division courses. i wanted to do marketing but now dont know if the marketing will really pin point what i want to do. im thinking communications because advertising is what i wanted to do in the first place. also, i want something with a wide range, so if i major in communications\ni can either do advertising or tv production or consult. i like options and i like to be creative so do you think this is a better option?

I say go for what really feels right, and if it is communications that you're thinking about then go for it.

Why not just go to college and concentrate on your core classes?  That will give you time to decide what you want to major in.  Colleges do  not require you to declare a major when you enroll.  It doesn't become essential until you complete your core classes.  In the meantime, do some research and learn about careers that you think you may be interested in.  Talk to people in those careers as well.  With all that knowledge, you will then be able to decide what career is the one for you.  Good luck!

When I was an undergrad freaking out about my major, the best advice I got was to do the following: Pick up a copy of your university's catalog, somewhere near the front of it will most likely be a list of all the possible majors at your school.  Now, go through and cross off everything you know you definitly DON'T want to do.\n\nIt was simple advice but it helped me so much.  I was overwhelmed with possibilities, once I was able to narrow down my options (in this way), I felt like I could more easily choose.  \n\nI think that will help you a lot.\n\nThen, yes, go talk to your advisor and anyone else you know that has a job you might be interested in.\n\nAnd finally, your major does not decide your life.  Most businesses are interested in you having an undergraduate degree, from there you can always go to graduate school once you have a more specific set of career goals.

Study of Management includes the study of finance, accounting, marketing, organizational behavior, economics pretty much everything that's involved in business.  Marketing and Finance rely more heavily on their respective disciplines.  As a Finance major, you won't be studying much Marketing and vice versa.

Good luck! Marketing is very interesting, and the fashion industry is also... so you've chosen a very interesting field of interest - go for it!

It depends on what you are interested in obviously.  When I graduated I went directly into my field of study, but wish that I hadn't.  A friend had saved up all through college and took six months to drive around the U.S. seeing famous locations.  He loved it.  However after a few years in engineering, I switched and started my own business and I love every minute of it.  So I think that if marketing is something you enjoy then it'll be fun to be working in your field, but if it's just a job, take some time off.

Find another job that interest you.  I have a marketing degree and when I graduated in the late 80's there were no jobs.  So, I went in the non-profit, social services area.  There are a lot of people that have jobs that have nothing to do with their degrees.  Just find a job that you like with advancement opportunities.  I use my degree now, for my business and for various volunteer activities that I take part in...Good luck!

I think you answered your own question.\n\nBesides, at orientation weren't we told to make cool stuff, then worry about how to make money? Perhaps this is a cool thing that simply hasn't had a money-making idea created from it yet. However, advertisement is, I think, the most probable means.

My advice would be to choose an MBA specializing in a field that interests you.  If you get the MBA in human resources you very likely could find yourself with a job in human resources.  Would you like that?  Can you imagine yourself doing that?  While if you got the MBA in marketing you would likely find yourself doing marketing.  I think marketing's more interesting, but thats just me.

Counseling is clearly one option.  Also, there are places where your background would be great for Human Resources Department.  You might also see how you fit with marketing and so on.  A lot of it will have to do with your interests other than your degree, where your degree is just a bonus, since your degree (presumably a bachelor's) is one that is normally a preliminary to a higher degree in professions like researcher and such.  You would probably do well as a research assistant in social research, including marketing.\n\nIf I were you, I'd not write off the idea of taking a higher degree, and you could make money as a teaching assistant or junior counselor in the undergraduate program while you pursue that higher degree.  I guess we are back to what really interests you.  \n\nThe two great divisions in social sciences generally are clinical and research.  If clinical, what sort of clients would you like to serve: children, elderly, single parents, the poor, handicapped, etc.?  If research, what sort of topics?

It depends what type of business major you are.  If you are marketing, then there will be stiff competition.  If you are accounting or finance, you will find a job easily.

1.Decide what you want to do in life and research all the options on those two then decide whic of the opportunities suits you best based on yourself and preferences.\n2.I like Mass Comm though since you need to know a lot of things .You could try be a bizz reporter that way you incorporate both.If a pathosociologist could get work in a police department and end up looking at forensic departments why not you taking Mass Comm and become a bizz journalist.\nAnd who knows your mass comm knowleedge could be applied in marketing or public relations companies.

OK, I have a lot to say about this, so please give this a read. \n\nI have three college degrees. One is an associate's (I went to a community college), one is a bachelor's, and one is a master's. I didn't decide on my major until my junior year of college, and even then, I wasn't sure if I made the right decision. \n\nDO NOT let anyone tell you that you have to decide right away. You don't. Declare yourself a liberal arts major and take as many different classes as you can. Take what sounds interesting. Take internships. Take as much as you can! The only way to find out what you want to do is explore and experiment. \n\nAnd you don't have to know what you want to do for a living right out of high school OR college. I'm 28, and I've just decided what my "calling" is. It took me a long time, but I finally made it. \n\nBut I also want to go back to school for more education in areas where I didn't get to take classes. So, please, explore and don't let anyone pressure you into choosing a major.\n\nBy the way, I majored in English, and the only reason I did it is because I love to write. I didn't make the decision for careers because I'm certainly not making a lot of money off of my writing. :)\n\nGood luck, and my best to you with whatever decisions you make!

I have a degree in Human Resource Manage.  I also have a degree in Business Management.  (I have an MBA too, but who is counting?)  \n\nFirst off, HR people, unless you get high up in a major corp (which often means you need a Master's and possibly a law degree as well) do not make a great deal of money, usually, especially starting out...but that is the same for marketing as well.  Typically, HR majors who want to work in that field get jobs as recruiters right out of college.  This is a cool job.  You are pretty much selling jobs.  You get to go to career fairs and things like that.  I think it would be fun.  \n\nHowever, a common misconception is that HR people make hiring decisions for companies.  This is just not the case.  Well, it may be the case for positions that require no skill or have no competition, but for skilled and competitive positions, managers make the decisions, HR just screens the people. HR has become a safety vale, more or less.  Due to employment law, our sue happy society and other factors, the HR position has become an organizations primary CYA mechanism.\n\nI don't know that one degree is better than the other.  It depends on what you want to do, in the end, I guess.  Both degrees build a foundation for success.  Both degrees provide you a foundation of education reguarding general business practice, which is marketable.  However, neither degree provides you with a specific skill that an organization needs.  (trust me, I know...I hae been there)  \n\nI don't believe one decision is better than the other.  Each degree program is respectable, relevant and marketable.  Beyond college, continued education and career experience will become much more important.  By gaining either degree, you will have put yourself in a position to become successful, which is what we all want, right?

Once you have your degree there is no further studies for teach marketing, just your knowledge will lead you to the career you have in mind..☺
