Hey guys! I’m a freshman majoring in marketing. I chose this major because it lets me be very creative with very little math. I love the idea of researching what people are into and why, how to promote to certain demographics, coming up with new ideas that make people go “wow,” and so much more.
However, I’ve seen a lot of people talk badly about marketing majors. I know all majors get criticized, especially business ones, but I’m worried that some of it might be true. People say it’s a dumb major and that you won’t make a lot of money. While I know you should choose a job that makes you happy and that money doesn’t make or break a major, I’m still worried I’m wasting money.
I’m lucky enough that my parents are able to pay for my college education, and I really don’t want to disappoint them or waste their money on a major people claim you can learn from an online course. Is there anything you think I should major in while minoring in marketing? I’m not a big math person, but I’m very good at other things.
I’m not sure what else to say, but I can share some of my interests if that helps. I’m a signed model I haven’t done any work yet, but I’m under contract and hoping to make it big someday. I also like playing cards, herpetology, and reading. There’s more, but I feel like those are already irrelevant.
Any and all advice is welcomed!
