<p>I go to SDSU and was planning on getting a major in Business Marketing. I look around and I see how people look down on this major. I know I shouldn't let these people change my minds but they are slowing making me rethink what I'm doing. I don't hear much success stories with business other then Accounting. I love business and every aspect of it pretty much. </p>
<p>If I would like to change my major, how hard would it be. Also if I would like to get accepted to a highly respectable MBA program what majors do they like. I heard they do not like to see BS in Business for these programs. </p>
<p>I might be very ignorant on these issues and would love some feed back.</p>
<p>Go with what you enjoy. It should be very easy to switch between business majors since they all share the same pre-req classes. I wouldn't switch to accounting or finance unless you like it. Personally, I find marketing much more interesting.</p>
<p>^^depends on your personal capabilities really. I know a kid at Penn who triple majors (1 at Wharton and 2 at SAS). </p>
<p>MBA programs rely heavily on your work experience after college, not so much your major in college. Worry about getting a good job after college for MBA programs not what your major is right now. Study what you find most interesting.</p>
<p>If you enjoy socialogy take marketing as a major. IF you want to major in something business oriented...finance or accounting would be recommended.</p>
<p>I work in accounting and let me tell you that the people that make the big money in most companies are those that either (1) are engineering majors that move into management at technology firms, (2) marketing/sales majors at retail/consumer brands/operations companies, (3) finance majors at financial service firms, or (4) partners at Big 4 firms.</p>
<p>Since those in categories (1) and (2) above outnumber those in categories (3) and (4) by about a ratio of 10 to 1 at least, I would not suggest you move out of marketing because of how other students treat it. All that demonstrates to me is that they don't understand the financial realities of work. </p>
<p>In almost all companies, those that are responsible for bringing in the revenue (marketing people) and those who are the innovators (engineering) will always get more rewards than those who just track the numbers (accounting) or figure out how to finance or capitalize the companies' moves (finance). I suppose I should include strategic management as a career field also--but since you don't really learn this in an undergraduate program (except maybe at Wharton), it doesn't really apply.</p>
