Where does /biz/ rank marketing?

Same. I did a bad one, chem eng, loved applications of chemistry, did extremely well in school. Had 5 coops, but in Canada they only like hiring coops for tax incentives - you want a fulltime job afterwards and they will laugh at you.

Marketing and advertising is useful, but there a reason why many people tend to major in it.

Tfw need to find a job in marketing or advertising once I graduate.

ayy. my cousin is graduating with a degree in marketing this may. I just got an apprenticeship in HVAC after everyone in my family was spewing the college meme at me. So if he can't find a job, I'm going to enjoy being smug for the rest of the year.

he only has a few weeks work experience at starbucks and valeting cars, no internships, and might be getting a BA instead of a BS. AND hes at a private college, getting crushed with loans.

sorry cuz, but my future is so bright, I gotta wear pic related

Currently in my first year of a business management degree, with the option to specialize in my second year (accounting, marketing, etc).

My question is, should I specialize in anything? Or should I pick and choose which extra units I want to do (for example, one from marketing, one from global economy, etc) and get a good all rounder in the degree, then do a masters?

I'm gravitating towards the second option, as choosing a specialization limits the extra units I can pick to that specific specialization, and i feel as though being able to do everything would be beneficial.

Also what sort of jobs would you be advise I apply for during and after the degree?

Not true. I have 10 years experience in the field and this is an awful idea unless you want to be stuck in IT help (while those positions still exist).Meme major. Accounting, actuarial science and engineering are pretty solid choices.

OP here. Almost everybody seems to say accounting. What's up with that? The subject seems like a sort of blend between law and finance. If we assume employers want specialists rather than generalists then shouldn't that make accounting inferior to both?

Entry level human resources position is probably your best bet.

Business Management degrees are not looked favorably upon

Why aren't they looked favorably upon? Is it because it focuses on many aspects of business rather than a specific niche?

>Accounting
Accounting is a very stable job, but I feel like most people on /biz/ have a get rich mentality. Internships are insanely easy to get and do at accounting companies, but you won't get big at an accounting companies.
I know EY has a mandatory retirement age at 58, but unless you're not planning on partnering, you won't really make it big. And if you're an external auditor then it makes it a lot more complicated to invest.
Not trying to shit on accounting though, it's a very stable, and pretty damn boring job for most. If you're looking for financially well off, but a pretty average life, accounting is the way to go.
>>1761571
External auditors hire young people like crazy, and give out a ton of internships as well (most of them are just watching netflix so don't expect to learn much). Starting salaries for accountants are very good too.

A business degree is the worst degree. It is no degree at all and only those who are too dumb for serious study go for it.

At least go for IE/OR if you want business oriented education.

Why tho? Much of accounting has to do with business law (taxation, bankruptcy law, corporate law, etc.). Other than that, accounting is the matter of reporting to financial stakeholders, but for that part, wouldn't it be just as good to major in finance and take a few accounting courses?

[Anonymous No.1762099]

>>1761069
You say "field." IT is very broad. MIS majors can go a more technical or soft skill route and still make great money. And since it's IT you move jobs every couple of years for +20% raises. Yea if you don't update your skill set or learn soft skills then yea you'll be stuck but that applies to every field if you don't get off your ass and work.
