I think I'm gonna go for a marketing degree (my story)
« on: August 28, 2008, 06:10:17 PM »
I basically dug myself a hole. After I finished taking all my general education requirements (math, science, history, foreign language, etc.), I had to declare a major to register. So I chose business like most undecided majors. Then I found myself at a crossroad, what in business should I major in? My options included:

Accounting
Economics
Finance
General Business
International Business
Management Information Systems
Management
Marketing

and quickly I eliminated them...


Accounting = boring, kinda difficult
Economics = hate it
Finance = I can pass the classes, but I really hate it.
General Business = heard its not good
International Business = ???
Management Information Systems = Don't want to be on PC all day
Management = heard its not good
Marketing = heard its not good, but I like it more then all the other choices.

So I got the choice down to marketing and finance. I was leaning towards finance because "it is a better degree, and marketing isn't a very good degree." Those aren't my words, I heard those thoughts from other people. But the truth is, I can't stand finance, it is torture to me. So I will do marketing and I hope it will help me out in the future. I wish I knew what I wanted to do with my life...

I think it would be cool to be my own boss. I like cooking too, maybe I can open up my own pizzeria or have my own ice cream shop lol.

I got no clue :(. To be honest, I just want to hurry up and gtfo of school. I already messed up this semester by registering for finance classes/ getting dropped from a class because I missed the mandatory meeting (apparently online classes have mandatory meetings too). So I may just end up having 1 class actually go to my major (Public Speaking) and the other (which I need to take to keep my scholarship... gotta have 6 credit hours each semester) won't go to my degree, but I think it'll be good to know (Real Estate).

Man, I'm currently in the last 3 weeks of my workterm for my Business program [and then I get my papers woo] and I am considering going back to study commerce and human resources. Maybe you could transfer to another school that had different class picks? Accounting and finance sucked, but I felt like superman when I passed it!
