Which is a better major to take in college to find a job in the business field: Economics, FInance, or Marketing?

Arturo,

The business field offers plenty of opportunities to utilize all sorts of college degree. Studying economics, finance or marketing are each good ways to target yourself towards a career in business. When reviewing possible colleges, consider what types of programs they offer. Some schools only offer economics as part of a liberal arts education, whereas others have an entire business school where you can choose among these three majors. If you have a choice, I wouldn't worry about committing to a major when you start school. Instead, take an introductory class in each area and figure out which one is most interesting to you. That will guide you towards more coursework that reflects your interests. After you graduate, you'll be well positioned to take most business-related jobs regardless of the specific major.

Hi Arturo,

I agree with the great comments above and speaking from personal experience, it is a really hard choice, especially when all areas are really interesting and would contribute to a great career path. The only thing I have to add, is that if you would like, you can double major. I double majored in finance and international business and it only added about 5 more classes because both majors were under the business branch of my college. This meant that all the basic class requirements were the same, I just took a few extra specialty classes in the topic area.

Double majoring is not for everyone, but I finished my degree in the normal 4 years (I had to because I only had a four year scholarship and could not afford to pay for college myself!). Yes, I had a packed schedule each semester, but if you know that you can handle that amount of work load it can be really rewarding. I also made sure that I spent plenty of college time pursuing extracurricular activities (as future employees don't just look at your degree or GPA, they want to see what other activities you pursued during your time in college).

Best of luck!

Hi Arturo!
I work with business students and employers who hire those students every single day, and I can tell you from experience that your major is not nearly as important as the internships and extracurricular activities you pursue. You can totally go into finance with an economics degree (and vice versa) if you've prepared yourself and sought out related opportunities. I agree with Justin that you shouldn't commit to a major just yet, or even within your first year of college! Look for a school that has a variety of business majors options and that helps its students find high-quality internships. Once you're taking the classes, you will be way more prepared to identify what you do and don't like. Good luck and study hard!

I would have to say Marketing because musicians are always busy practicing , composing, recording, and mixing,and we really don’t like to spend a lot of time marketing berklee offers courses in marking strategies for the music business
