Be blunt: Is Marketing a useless major?

<p>Don’t you guys get it?</p>

<p>Business is a worthless, “soft” degree. Pre-med takes too long and doctors, well, most doctors aren’t paid nearly enough for the long hours they put in. Engineering is horrible because of the weed-out classes and then you have very shaky unemployment options, according to rumors. Law school? Don’t even joke about that.</p>

<p>What I’m getting at with this VERY sarcastic post is that every major in college is getting criticized. This recession is proving that even with the traditional Medicine/Law/Engineering propaganda we’ve been taught for years, everyone is on a very shaky playing field. Don’t let that limit yourself, but do know that marketing is a field where a lot of people end up and you need strong talent to prove you are useful. Bjunior92 has the right idea when it comes to majoring in business, double-major and minor where possible. Prove you;re an asset through internships and academics. If you can’t separate yourself from the pact it will be a rough run.</p>
