It's a great choice for people who want a balance of using the quantitative left brain with the creativity of the right brain.
-
Majoring in marketing makes you a specialist in that area, which means you know more about a specific subject area and can leverage that over generalists, who may only know a little about many aspects of business, but lack an in-depth understanding of a specific subject area.
-
If you're interested in marketing, follow that interest and always choose a subject area you love!
