creative writing or english literature minor?

i want to major in business administration with a concentration in marketing, and am choosing between san francisco state and sacramento state. i will probably look for a possible career in marketing / editing, or even just marketing and do freelance editing as a side job.

is creative writing or english literature a better minor? i feel like english literature gives me more language skills, but creative writing helps me explore my creative writing ability, which may be helpful.

What you minor in is up to you. Both English literature and creative writing will help you hone your writing and editing skills, and you could do things like write marketing copy. But let your interests guide you here. English literature is a bit of a broader major that covers things like textual analysis that could be useful later. The writing you do for marketing isn’t ‘creative’ in the sense that a creative writing major uses it, though. It’s more under the category of professional writing.
