Marketing Major - What should I minor in?

Question

I just finished my second year of college and want to minor in either advertising, communication studies, or journalism. Which of those three would best compliment a marketing major? Any input is much appreciated! =)

Answer 1

To be honest, it depends on what you would like to do when you graduate.



I graduated college a year ago with a triple major in Marketing, Advertising, and Business Management.



What I have found with everyone that I know that graduated with a marketing degree, is that 95% of them went into sales of some kind.



There are a couple of reasons for this. First off, with a sales position, you have an oppurtunity to dive right into things and make a great amount of money.



Also, the majority of my classmates/friends that went to work for Ad Agencies or Marketing firms started off as glorified assistants, getting coffee for people and such.



Therefore I would reccomend thinking about what you may like to do. If you would like sales, try communications. If sales isn't for you, try advertising.



To be completely honest, I would suggest sales, but you know yourself and what you would like.

Answer 2

If you have a degree - or any alternative qualification - then you'll already be ahead of the masses when it comes to hunting for careers. My pal has a degree and he wasn't certain what direction to go with it, but he discovered some great tips on the website in the resource box below which helped him to decide that he wanted to be a lab assistant. There is a lot of assistance on the website regarding alternative careers.

Answer 3

Well what do you want to do with your Marketing major after school? I would say Advertising if you want to do that. Communication would be good no matter what you want to do. Journalism would be good if you want to write articles for magazines.
