Just graduated with a marketing degree from one of the "more highly ranked" marketing programs (trying to add legitimacy to my comment without sounding too cocky here). Overall I enjoyed it! Got a job rather fast after graduating and it wasn't that difficult compared to other majors which gave me time to follow other interests. My favorite thing about a marketing degree is how flexible it is as Shane was suggesting. I paired it with Risk Management (analytical side), Film (creative side) and minored in digital studies while graduating in 4 years that allowed me to go into a lot of different industries. I really wanted to work in either sports or fintech after college which are two rather different fields but having a marketing degree gave me the ability to do either which most other majors don't let you. Marketing really allows you to go into any field (you can do marketing but not always engineering). If anyone is interested in Marketing message or reply and I'm more than happy to help answer any questions!

Best choice of my life. Went into college as a finance major, wayyy too much insane math. A marketing degree got me a job halfway through my senior year that pays over $60k. I supplemented my degree with a concentration in international business and a Chinese minor, so I 100% agree that it helped me get my current position.

Im in my third year of this course and yeah, I agree with every word you said, we tend to be the most flexible employees in the future

From my experience, it is true that the theoretical business courses are definitely easy. But at my university, all the business programs are closed-enrollment (you have to apply to the program after completing prerequisite courses to be officially in the course). The prerequisite courses are the beginning courses in Accounting, Finance, Marketing Management, etc. The range of average GPA of students who were admitted into these business programs is 3.27 - 3.82.

I graduated with a marketing degree, worked channel marketing for Boost Mobile and Sprint at a high level telecom corporate right out of college for 3 years and was learning a lot. The company had an acquisition and I was laid off around the time the pandemic started. I could never find another marketing job, because everything went digital (instagram) and I was experienced selling retail. Most marketers that are faced with a dead end, go work in sales, but sales isn't my personality. I am working on changing my career to a data analyst and feel like I've wasted 7 years of my life. Would love to do marketing for a start-up, other than that never again. If you are creative, have A.D.D. and crazy work ethic you can be a great marketer, everyone else is just doing admin stuff pretending they like what they are doing (especially in corporate).

Very good breakdown and very good score! Thank you for helping me especially with the advise on the concentrations and the X-factor portion of this video. Very, very helpful. Thanks a lot and keep up the fine work!👍

[namazov]

[kellysierra]

I love that you are straight to the point

[FirstMutta]

Thank you so much, Shane. I've been waiting for this video because I will be starting my master's degree in marketing next month!

[lovely]

this definitely gave me a great insight on marketing field. I have been in school for business management and i wasnt sure if i made the right chice to emphasize in marketing. now i know im making the right choice

I studied marketing, now currently pursuing major in computer science, partly thanks to my diploma in e-commerce that get me into this field, and i can tell you that a marketing degree is practically tooo general and you are also right, the syllabus do not keep up to date, back then e-commerce is fine as i do learn web page design and other IT related subjects, but then follow up to degree in marketing, it tends to go downhill from there, as we are memorising theories after theories with no practical works, some of the subjects include Customer Relationships Management, Consumer Behavior, Strategic Marketing & Decision Making, etc, which to me is just lean towards on common sense. If it does carry on with a blend of marketing and digital/IT elements, it will be well worth it, but then i come out with marketing knowledge but with no specialised skills. Yes, i can pursue being a marketing manager but that requires a senior level experience, and so with the Covid19 hits, i just take these times and dive deep into the computing era.

You had me at "you can even start your own business"

[nalinrawat]

Thanks a lot!!! I was waiting for this video and will be majoring in marketing now :)

[daisuke]

Thank you for the video! It was very informative and helpful.

[beaveramenzell]

I know that you highly advice for rising or current college students to double major/minor to give them a leg up. May you please make a video on combining vs. double majoring? You could use the combo degrees you often talk about on your channel and compare it to taking them separately and give your opinions and reasons on which is going to be more beneficial? With that being said you could section it out by doing a video focused Sciences, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Social Sciences, etc. Or you could choose a couple from each career field and make it all into one video.

[mayrayazdari]

Very useful, really good tips. Highly recommend watching this video!

[saralamusquintero]

Omg been waiting for this!! Thank youuu

[mc.]

I’m a marketing grad.. please double major or major/minor if getting a degree in marketing. Also, get certifications & intern as I cannot stress this enough!!! You will be constantly hit up about sales jobs because you are a marketing major or will need years of experience/good gpa for a decent paying job. Good luck!

[itsmorgan]

this made me happy. I’ll be a freshman this year and I’ve decided on marketing. 😛
